Nearly a century ago in 1924, Camp North End as we know it was home to a 240,000-square-foot building which served as the city’s first Ford Motor Company factory. Once a manufacturing site for Model T cars and later assembling Hercules missiles, the property has now transformed into a hub for some of the city’s most creative and innovative businesses.
The 76-acre open-air property is located in Charlotte’s North End Smart District and has become home to over 50 tenants in less than five years, with more openings on the horizon. The expansive campus is divided into different districts – Kewsick, The Mount and the Boileryard – making the space easily navigable. Whether you are looking for something new to do around the Queen City or are popping into Charlotte for a few days, here is how you can spend a day exploring Camp North End.
