Small Town Saturday Night 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I've lived in Lincolnton for about 10 years. The town combines country living and some of the city life that some people might enjoy. There aren't many large businesses in the town, but there are enough to keep people employed and to offer residents and visitors something to do i ...Read More nstead of traveling to another city. Highway 321 runs through Lincolnton, which is a road that leads to places like Hickory and the mountains of North Carolina.

One thing I enjoy about Lincolnton is that there is a variety of places to visit instead of repetitive attractions. Quillie's is a rather new establishment. It's a country and western bar that features live music sometimes during the week as well as drink specials. This is a place to go when you want to unwind at the end of the week. Gallery 27 is an art studio where you can view various pieces of work and even take a few classes when they are offered. When I'm trying to find a special gift, I like to shop at Treasures On Main. The store has items that you can't find in retail stores and usually has good prices. Read Less
