Iron Station, North Carolina's history dates back to the late 18th century. While the town is now a bedroom community of Lincolnton, Hickory, and Charlotte, it was once an iron mining town. Other minerals found in the 240 mines include Beryllium, Arsenic, Bismuth, and more. Today, the town's 839 residents enjoy the finer things the Charlotte area has to offer while offering a historical glimpse into the past.

The almost three-square-mile town boasts three National Registers of Historic Places structures. Ingleside is a 6,000-square-foot home where many of the original architectural designs remain. The house was built in the early 1800s, and it is speculated that architect Benjamin Latrobe, who designed the Capitol Building, created the plans for Ingleside. Plantation house Magnolia Grove and Tucker's Grove Camp Meeting Ground are the other two.

For time spent in a traditional setting, stop by the b & b Farm. Founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of providing grass-fed beef to the community. Soon after, the Farm offered field trips to educate and entertain the local schools. Students can learn about fire safety and farm animals and enjoy the interactive Fossil Dig Experience, Sensory Corn Pit, and Big Ol' Playground. The field trips were such a hit that the Farm now offers a summer camp. The owners remain true to their vision, and their store offers a selection of ground and cut beef. You can also purchase up to a whole butchered cow.

You can find inner peace through martial arts, and Mudo Korean Martial Arts are the area's best. Practice traditional theories of Taekwondo and Hapkido in one of the self-defense courses. There are also programs to learn about Korean culture, language, and history.

Take a step back in time at the Loch Norman Highland Games. Highland Games date back to Ireland around 2,000 BC, but those played here are based in 5th-century Scotland. Competitions include longbow and battle-axe, Scottish Country Dancing, bagpiping, drumming, and more. Kids have their own games like The Haggis Hurl for Distance, Tossing the Broom, and the Tattie & Spoon Race. Test your speed by running the Kilted Mile, but leave your modesty at home, as entrants are required to wear a kilt for the entire race.

The games can surely cause an appetite increase, and the perfect place to remedy that is The Court Street Grille. Satisfy your hunger with a calzone, stromboli, wraps, or pasta. The Grille is the perfect spot for a family event or a special date night.
