Cotton Ginning Days
Gaston County Park, 1303 Dallas Cherryville Hwy, Dallas, NC
A restored, operational cotton gin anchors this three-day heritage festival, with more than 300 pieces of antique farm and textile machinery, a crank-up of steam and gas engines, and craft demonstrations. Started in 1988, the 2026 event is its 39th year and draws upward of 50,000 visitors.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
