A heavy fog drifts over the Blue Ridge Parkway. German U-Boats lurk off the Outer Banks.  Shadows lengthen across the Piedmont. Shine some light on the Tar Heel State with our North Carolina history books. Wander the gardens at Biltmore Estate and hike to the Land of Oz.  Catch the flash of a bald eagle fishing lunch from Jordan Lake. Be sure to take a faithful companion with you, like a Plott Hound. Or a North Carolina history book. [View all North Carolina books]

Since 1900, the lure of roaring crowds, bitter rivalries, and team spirit has occupied a significant place in the social history of Lincolnton and Lincoln County. This tradition began at Horseshoe Park, where local baseball teams played against opponents from Lenoir, Morganton, and the mountains of North Carolina. Over time, leagues grew in popularity and teams were added from Boger and Crawford and Glenn Mills, as well as high school teams. Teams such as the Lincolnton Cardinals and Lincolnton Red Sox left lasting legacies. The Lincoln County Sports Hall of Fame ensures that the athletes of a bygone era will always be remembered and they can continue to serve as inspiration for future generations of sports players and fans.
