Antiquities Vending Company - Granite Falls, NC

Antiquities Vending Company here in Granite Falls preserves in house the

largest most complete collection of antique vendors in the world today.

 

Welcome and Thank You for visiting with us.  Granite Falls is located in southern Caldwell County North Carolina, just north of Hickory, on U. S. Highway 321.  Its history dates back before the Revolutionary War.  Its origins can be traced to land grants dating back to 1754.  Granite Falls was incorporated on May 1, 1899 and was named after the Falls on Gunpowder Creek, where a solid formation of granite spans the creek.

Named for the falls and giant granite boulders on Gunpowder Creek, the town began as an industrial town and is headquarters today to one of the nations most heralded small banks, The Bank of Granite. The bank has been featured in Forbes, U.S. Banker, and the CBS Evening News. Famed investor Warren Buffet has said The Bank of Granite is “the best-run bank in the United States.”

Granite Falls is also home to the world’s largest collection of soda pop memorabilia housed in Antique Vending Company’s showroom, and the town is home to the second oldest home in Caldwell County, which the town has converted into the Granite Falls History and Transportation Museum. Visitors to downtown Granite Falls will find a large slab of granite rock and town clock flanked by locally-owned shops and unique architecture.
 

Granite Falls is the hometown of Country Music Star Eric Church.  San Francisco Giants pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, attended South Caldwell High School in nearby Hudson, North Carolina.


The Town of Granite Falls operates the William B Shuford Recreation Center, which provides a variety of fitness and youth activities.
