Bring your students to experience excellence during our fascinating and unique educational programs focusing on history, science, creative thinking, reading, and even math!
Stop by and enjoy the solitude of nature that only 265 secluded acres can provide while hiking our extensive network of trails. Visit us and feel the rush of communal excitement with several thousand new friends at one of our cultural events. Step back in time as you step through our cabin’s doorway, smelling the delicious smells of food cooking over an open hearth. Hear the ringing of the blacksmith’s hammer, the chop of the woodworker’s adze, and the blast of the militiaman’s musket. We have over 250 years of history and heritage to share with you, your family, and your students. Whatever your interest, Rural Hill has something for you!!
Historic Rural Hill
Historic Rural Hill is a private non-profit organization located in Huntersville, NC. We operate a 265-acre working farm that is owned by Mecklenburg County Parks and Rec. Rural Hill is a working farm, historic site, educational facility, nature preserve, and event site. We host events year-round, and many are fundraisers for the site that help us put on free community-oriented events and educational programs for local schools. We also operate as the historic homestead of the Davidson family. We offer tours and living history to educate the community on the local history, and we are open year-round. We would love to have you visit us for one of our events or to learn more about the site’s history. We offer a wide variety of events, educational programs, living history experiences, and volunteer opportunities.
