Congdon Yards

Downtown High Point just welcomed its newest attractor where people come to innovate, celebrate, congregate, and instigate new ideas and collaboration. This newly renovated footprint of a former textile mill, transforms into a hub for entrepreneurs and the business community at the Plant 7 building. The Factory is where events come to life including The Loft, a charming meeting space located on the third floor. The Generator anchors a playground for innovators interested in small-scale manufacturing, while The Commons is the new living room and gathering space of the community. Don’t worry, Lil’s Coffee Bar will keep the creative and workflow sustained with coffee and refreshments so you never break your stride!

Stock + Grain Assembly

The 12,000 square-foot food hall will celebrate its grand opening this September at 275 North Elm Street, near the centerfield entrance to Truist Point Stadium. The food hall will also include two bars, one focusing on craft cocktails and draft beer, and a patio bar featuring seasonal drinks. We’re excited for this opportunity to highlight High Point’s unique culture and history. The name Stock + Grain Assembly was inspired by the history of the furniture industry in High Point and take a cue from the craftsman heritage of the neighborhood, with a subtle nod to food. The logo found inspiration in industrial artifacts – upholstery labels, manufacturing company logos, furniture makers’ marks – and even features a dovetail joining “Stock” and “Grain.”

All-A-Flutter Farms

In addition to raising Monarch Butterflies, All-A-Flutter Farms believes in educating children concerning the plight of the butterfly, welcoming school groups, daycares, camps and other organizations to visit the farm. Tours of the facilities can be scheduled, along with an age-appropriate lecture for students, complete with demonstrations of all stages of development: from the instar (caterpillar) stage to the chrysalis, to the emergence of the brilliantly colored adult butterfly. Visitors can even hand-feed the butters, too!

Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library

With more than 5,000 furniture and design-specific volumes, The Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library is the largest furniture specialty library in the world. The rare book collection contains volumes published since 1543 and includes a collection of the original works of 18th-century furniture masters Chippendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite, as well as a complete 26-volume set of Diderot’s Encyclopedia published in 1776.

This is one of the few, if not the only place in the world where design professionals, scholars, students, and the public can don a pair of white gloves and examine the original works of the pioneer designers in our industry.

Theatre Art Galleries

Theatre Art Galleries will move to a new 10,000-square-foot space in Congdon Yards, on the ground floor of the Factory Building in early 2023. Half of the footage will be dedicated to the gallery and exhibition space, with the other half dedicated to classrooms. The gallery will include moveable wall panels, which allow the gallery to be subdivided and reconfigured for each exhibit. There will be 3 large classrooms, allowing for classes in all media including drawing, painting, and collage. One large classroom will be specifically equipped for classes in ceramics, glass fusion, and light metal work for jewelry making. One new component will be a retail gift shop, which will carry items not currently available in High Point, including work from high-end artisans, art books and supplies, and unique gift items with a creative bent.

High Point Museum

High Point Museum offers a glimpse into the past and present with exhibits that pay tribute to the city’s manufacturing heritage. The John Coltrane Exhibit houses artifacts, including a piano, used by John Coltrane himself and sheet music.
