The Premier Event of the America 250 Season!
On June 27, 2026, the Historical Associations of Lincoln and Catawba County will host the Liberty Ball, an elegant evening celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and honoring the enduring spirit of liberty, service, and community that defines our nation.
It will be staged at the Crowe Mansion which is, itself, one of the most elegant venues in Lincoln County.
This once-in-a-generation America 250 milestone provides an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on our shared history while investing in the future of Lincoln and Catawba County. Proceeds from the Liberty Ball support the preservation of historic sites, educational programming for local students, community outreach initiatives, and exhibitions that share the stories that shape our region.
