High Point is known for its furniture, textiles, and manufacturing, as well as the prestigious High Point University. The city is sometimes referred to as the “Home Furniture Capital of the World”. High point draws visitors from all over the world for its High Point Market, the largest home furnishing show. High Point has a bit of the best of both worlds, a burgeoning downton with a new ballpark and lots of new energy as well as many recreational activities such as Kersey Valley Zip Line or the Piedmont Environmental Center.
