Belmont is a small suburban city in Gaston County, North Carolina, United States, located about 15 miles (24 km) west of uptown Charlotte and 9 miles (14 km) east of Gastonia. The population was 10,076 at the 2010 census. Once known as Garibaldi Station, the name change for Belmont is disputed. Some say it was named for a prominent New York banker - August Belmont. Others contend the Pope ordered the abbot of the monastery to change the name since he would not tolerate an abbey in a place that bore the Garibaldi name. The abbot could see Crowder's mountain from the property and named the town Belmont - "beautiful mountain". Belmont is home to Belmont Abbey College.

We have restored thousands of rare photos of cotton mills & their way of life, towns, churches, schools, and trollies, just to mention a few. All of these photos and a number of regional historical artifacts are on display as well.
Extensive photo collection. Discovered a rare photo of my great grandfather. Good place for genealogical research if you're searching for relatives in the area.

Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the Carolinas’ Garden for All Seasons, provides guests a chance to reconnect with nature. Located within 380 acres on the banks of Lake Wylie, spectacular gardens, sparkling fountains, a conservatory dedicated to the display of tropical plants and orchids, a visitor pavilion, gift shop and nature walk await the visitor. HGTV named it one of the nation’s “20 Great Gardens” and USA TODAY says the Garden is one of the nation’s best places to “welcome fall with a flourish.” Committed to horticultural excellence, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a must-see for all ages.
Visiting the garden for their holiday celebration was truly a delight! It was so wonderful to walk around and enjoy the beautiful light displays and enjoy a bite to eat from the food truck and a holiday libation. Mask wearing and social distancing were adhered to by staff and visitors. Many families enjoyed toasting s’mores by the fire pit. The gift shop is well stocked and a good place to find Christmas gifts. Lovely evening!

Great place to park your car and get out to walk and shop or eat or just look in the windows as you walk and go down to the park.
