Taylorsville, North Carolina, is a community of about 2,000 residents in the western part of the state. It is the county seat of Alexander County. The town was named after Gen. Zachary Taylor who was fighting in the war in Mexico at the time.
Rocky Face Park is uniquely situated in and around an old quarry that dates back to the early 1900s. The "rocky face" is the product of the quarrying carried out long ago. Now, rock climbers enjoy the challenge posed by the remaining vertical rock walls. The park also features an ADA-compliant walking track. Over five miles of hiking trails include routes right along the top of the rock walls. Another trail takes hikers to the top of peak.
Those that purchase Taylorsville homes for sale will have easy access to a unique attraction just a few miles to the east.
