Abstract:

Hart Square is billed as the world's largest collection of 18th and 19th-century structures. For nearly all the 100 structures on the site, approximately 200 artisan s demonstrate elements of early American life. Hickory, N.C. physician, Dr. Bob Hart started the venture back in 1967, originally as a wildlife refuge. An educational center was added in 2020. Hart Square opens to the public annually with a fall festival held on the fourth Saturday in October.
