Abstract:

In the 1960s, Robert Hart, a Hickory physician and preservationist, purchased 200 acres outside the city limits. There he collected ninety-two buildings from Catawba and surrounding counties and created a place that imitates village life. With the help of his wife, he decorates the buildings with furniture from the time period in which they were built.
