A Message from Mayor Murray
Hello Waxhaw. Over the last year it has been an absolute pleasure to serve as your mayor. My duties have given me the opportunity to participate in so many cherished ceremonies that honor our veterans and first responders while also allowing me the opportunity to attend several exciting ribbon cuttings that celebrate our new businesses, all over our great little Town.
It really has been another great year in Waxhaw as several new businesses have opened their doors in our town, offering a multitude of products and services. We have added all sorts of great new establishments eager to serve. From dog grooming to personal grooming, from a new brewery to a new restaurant/bar, this year has brought a lot of great new businesses to our town. So please take the time to support your neighbors and our local entrepreneurs by shopping and dining locally.
One of this year’s most exciting highlights was the ribbon cutting for our new Town Campus. It was a great honor to officially open our new Town Hall and Public Services/Parks & Recreation building. These shiny new facilities will serve as a source of pride for the whole town while they serve the needs of our community for generations to come. I invite everyone to stop in sometime, say hi to the staff and have a look around.
Along with our new Town Hall we were able to unveil our Charters of Freedom donated by Foundation Forward, a non-profit dedicated to sharing life size replicas of the original Declaration of Independence, Articles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I invite everyone to bring their kids, friends and family members to come and read these documents and learn more about the words and ideas that made this great nation. These replicas are made from etched bronze and will last for generations, ensuring the ideals of freedom and liberty live on forever.
Lastly, I’d like to celebrate the opening our new Downtown Park. This project took over ten years to acquire, plan, design and build. It was a labor of love for all our town staff and many elected officials who worked tirelessly to make our park a reality. To all those who gave their time and talent towards this park I say thank you.
I’ve had the pleasure of receiving countless compliments and rave reviews about our new park. I invite everyone to bring the family, walk the dog or simply relax to the laughter and joy that surrounds the park, every day.
In closing I just wanted to say that it has been an exciting journey serving as your mayor. While it has been a challenge at times it has also been a great source of pride and joy. I look forward to the coming years as we continue to work through our challenges and share in our joys, together, as one Waxhaw.

The Town of Waxhaw reached a major milestone with the building of its new government services hub. Construction began in mid-November 2022, and the state-of-the-art Town Hall complex officially opened its doors to the public on November 1, 2024.
The Town Campus is home to facilities for Public Services, Parks and Recreation, and Town Hall operations. The centerpiece of the campus, the new Town Hall, is approximately four times larger than the previous building, providing ample space for the town staff to accommodate the growing needs of Waxhaw’s population.
Located at 4220 Waxhaw- Marvin Road, at the intersection of WaxhawMarvin Road and Kensington Road, this campus is set to revolutionize how residents access municipal services. The property spans over 17 acres and connects two of Waxhaw’s parks - Town Creek Park and Nesbit Park - creating exciting opportunities for future recreational development.
The construction of the Waxhaw Town Campus marks a significant step forward in the town’s development. Residents can look forward to facilities that not only serves their immediate needs, but also lays the groundwork for a vibrant, connected community in the years to come.
With origins dating back to the 1700s, Waxhaw is one of the oldest towns in Union County and was officially incorporated in 1889.

ATTRACTIONS
Water Tower
The iconic 49,000-gallon stainless-steel tower stands as a landmark in downtown Waxhaw, situated near the intersection of Highway 75, Highway 16, and the railroad tracks that bisect the town. Constructed in 1940, the tank served as the town’s primary water supply for decades until modern ground water tanks took over its role. Today, the area beneath the tower, known as Water Tower Community Corner, hosts a variety of lively events throughout the year, making it a vibrant hub of activity. This historic structure remains one of the most recognizable and cherished symbols of downtown Waxhaw, blending nostalgia with community spirit.
116 McDonald Street Waxhaw, NC 28173
Pedestrian Bridge as Built in 1888 as part of a railroad line to Atlanta, the Pedestrian Bridge has evolved from a vital artery for vehicles and pedestrians into a cherished landmark symbolizing the town’s history and charm. Converted to a pedestrian-only pathway in 1941, it became a community gathering spot and was revitalized in 2008 through a collaboration between the Town of Waxhaw and CSX Transportation, blending modern updates with its historic character. Today, the bridge offers a unique experience — from feeling the vibrations of passing trains to enjoying views of the vibrant downtown—making it a beloved destination that honors Waxhaw’s railroad roots while embracing its future.
Downtown Waxhaw
Duncan McDonald House
The Duncan McDonald House was built by Waxhaw's first postmaster in 1888 and now acts as a characteristic recreation venue. It’s considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, house in Waxhaw. At one time the town’s early switchboard was operated from this house. From senior citizen programming to events welcome center to rentable meeting space, this is a great place to visit!
115 N. McDonald Street | Waxhaw, NC 28173
Community Well and Jug
The original well, dug around 1900, served the trains and crews of the Waxhaw depot and was in use until the 1920s. Today, a replica well built in 1989 commemorates the town’s original community well, which once stood nearby. A large clay urn, initially used at the Rodman-Heath Millalso marks Waxhaw's industrial heritage. In the mid-1980s, the urn was relocated from the mill to the Dare Steele Memorial Garden before being moved again around 2003 to its current downtown location near the well, symbolizing Waxhaw's historical and economic legacy.
Downtown Waxhaw
R.J. Belk Building das
Situated directly across from the Pedestrian Bridge, this historic building holds a rich legacy as the home of the Belk store from 1894 to 1938. After the store's closure, the building found new life serving various purposes before being generously donated to the Waxhaw Woman’s Club by the Belk family in 1970. Following extensive restorations, it now stands as a charming venue available for rent, hosting events, private parties, and special occasions while preserving its historical significance in the community.

Nearly 1,400 personalized engraved bricks that were purchased by veterans or their families line the walls structure. Five commemorative statues, created by local veterans, Les Burns and Peter Rubino, are placed around the wall.
The Wall of Honor ensures that our military heroes are remembered not only for their service to the nation but also for their roles within their families and community. For years to come, this memorial will preserve the legacy of the men and women who have served in the US military as well as inspire and remind future generations of the price of freedom and the strength of our community.

THE ART OF LEGACY: PETER RUBINO’S SCULPTURAL JOURNEY
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Peter Rubino’s artistic journey began in the vibrant cultural tapestry of the city. After his service in the Navy, Rubino used his G.I. Bill to take art classes in New York. His rise to international acclaim was propelled by iconic works like the 12-foot bronze monument “Mother of All Life,” installed at the Boyko Research Center in the Holy Land, and the awe-inspiring 35-foot-tall “Archangel” sculpture commissioned by the Walt Disney Company. These works demonstrate Rubino’s ability to blend monumental scale with profound thematic depth, earning him a place among the luminaries of contemporary sculpture.
In 1985, Rubino moved to Connecticut with his wife and children, furthering his artistic pursuits. In 2013, he relocated to Union County, North Carolina, where his talent continues to flourish. Notable commissions in the region include “Hero” for Scott Safety Corp. in Monroe, “The Protector” for the Levine Jewish Community Center in Charlotte, and the “Officer of the Year” award for the Waxhaw Police Department. Each piece reflects his commitment to honoring community values and celebrating courage.
Peter Rubino’s sculptures are not merely art; they are monumental
expressions of humanity, patriotism, and spiritual inspiration. From the intricate lines of his towering creations to the intimate stories they embody, Rubino’s work has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide. With an artistic career spanning over five decades, Rubino continues to shape his legacy through compelling sculptures and meaningful community engagement.
As a Navy veteran, Rubino channels his artistic gifts into honoring military service. His sculptures “Remembrance,” “Reflection,” and “Valor” are permanent installations at the Waxhaw Military Wall of Honor and Stumptown Park in Matthews, NC. These works, dedicated on significant occasions like Memorial Day and Veterans Day, resonate deeply with local communities.
Rubino’s dedication extends beyond his sculptures. Through his nonprofit organization, The Rubino Veterans Art Center, he provides free sculpting classes to veterans, including those who are visually impaired or blind. These workshops offer veterans a unique opportunity to express their experiences and explore their creative potential.
Remembrance features the head of an eagle, four military figures, and the American flag, symbolizing unity and sacrifice.
Peter Rubino proudly stands next to his sculpture titled Valor, which celebrates extraordinary military bravery, with its distinguished star motif.
Reflection depicts a kneeling soldier with his hands clasped in a moment of quiet reverence.
Mr. Rubino’s workshops emphasize the therapeutic power of creativity. Collaborating with the VA Whole Health & Wellness Center in Charlotte and the Union County Community Arts Council in Monroe, he offers step-bystep clay sculpting sessions that help participants unlock their artistic talents. Many veterans find solace and healing in these classes, using art to process trauma and articulate their journeys.
“Through personal experience, I’ve learned that art can help manage stress and anxiety,” Rubino shares. “I’m committed to helping others discover their talents and express themselves.”
Rubino’s impact is further amplified by his association with the Connecticut Fallen Heroes Foundation. Each year, he presents Gold Star Families with a 12-inch replica of “Remembrance” during the foundation’s annual tribute ceremony in Hartford, CT. This gesture of compassion and recognition underscores his commitment to honoring those who have served and sacrificed.
Rubino’s artistry transcends genres. He has immortalized figures like Barack Obama, jazz legend Dave Brubeck, and baseball icons Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Ty Cobb. His skill in capturing likenesses has made him a sought-after portrait sculptor.
As a bestselling author, Rubino
shares his expertise with aspiring sculptors. His books, “The Portrait in Clay” and “Sculpting The Figure in Clay,” are globally distributed and translated into five languages. Rubino also conducts sculpture workshops across the United States and Italy, mentoring artists and fostering a love for the medium.
In addition to these achievements, Rubino maintains an active exhibition schedule, presenting his sculptures in galleries and art shows that draw enthusiasts from around the globe. His ability to engage with both new and seasoned art lovers keeps his work relevant and influential in the ever-evolving world of contemporary sculpture.
One of Rubino’s most unique contributions to the art world is his extreme sculpting performances. These live events feature Rubino creating 200-pound monumental clay portrait busts in just 15 minutes, choreographed to inspirational music.
His “Symphony in Clay” performance, centered on Beethoven, and “Passion in Clay,” depicting Jesus, have captivated audiences at churches, festivals, and corporate events. These performances transcend art, offering viewers a deeply moving experience that highlights the transformative power of creativity.
“Witnessing Jesus come to life through clay in just minutes is a profound and unforgettable experience for many,” says Rubino. “It’s about more
than art; it’s about connection and inspiration.”
Peter Rubino’s career continues to evolve, marked by a dedication to artistic excellence and community impact. Whether sculpting monumental works, mentoring veterans, or performing live, Rubino’s art remains a testament to the enduring power of creativity. For more on his work, visit www.rubinostudio.com or www.passioninclay.com.
Email: peterrubino@gmail.com for information about veteran programs and booking a "Passion in Clay" performance.
In Rubino’s hands, clay becomes more than a medium; it becomes a voice, a memory, and a celebration of life.

Hello from Downtown Waxhaw
Welcome to Waxhaw! We are Ashley and Alara, the team behind Downtown Waxhaw. We work closely with downtown businesses and property owners, town staff, and volunteers who share our passion for celebrating what makes downtown so special!
Waxhaw is a part of a group of collaborative leaders from around the country that strengthen communities through preservation-based economic development – Main Street America. For more than 40 years, Main Street Communities have preserved historic districts across the U.S., have created more than 780,000 jobs and generated more than $107 billion in local investment.
In 2022, Waxhaw reimagined its Main Street Program and created a non-profit organization to assist in promoting and preserving the district. The Downtown Waxhaw Association Board consists of nine members, including representatives from the Town of Waxhaw, downtown business owners, Waxhaw residents, and community volunteers. We have two action teams –Design and Economic Vitality – and meet regularly with downtown merchants to provide a holistic approach to preservation.
Our board and volunteers are working on several exciting projects in 2025! We’re completing a Downtown Master Plan that will set the community’s vision for downtown for the next 5-10 years. We’re adding new public art, including sculptures and crosswalk murals. And we’re planning several new, business-friendly retail events to increase foot traffic and sales for our downtown businesses.
Want to get involved? We’re looking for volunteers and Friends of Downtown that want to help further the economic prosperity of Downtown Waxhaw. Visit downtownwaxhaw.com to check out downtown events, sign-up for our monthly newsletter, and learn how to get involved!
We can’t wait to see you in Downtown Waxhaw!

Creating Comfort AT A FEAR FREE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
You may have heard the term Fear Free from a friend or seen it advertised. Founded in 2016 by Dr. MartyBecker, it comprises a group of different veterinarian professionals and pet experts gathered together for the single purpose of preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the veterinary professionals and people who care for them.
[ Dr. Susan Bonilla, MS, CVA, CCRP, CACP ]
In 2019, Passionate Paws Animal Hospital proudly joined an elite group of practices to attain the honored distinction of becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice. This certification means that all our doctors and team members on staff, including our groomers, are all individually trained as Fear Free professionals. Being Fear Free certified validates much of what we have already practiced since opening our doors. Fear Free certified practices successfully implement Fear Free into all aspects of their business: culture and leadership, client education, staff training, the facility, and most importantly, patient visits.
My husband and I built our hospital for pet parents because we are pet parents and so is everyone on our team. At Passionate Paws, we strive to make every patient visit a Fear Free experience as every team member wants your pet to be happy when they walk through the door of our animal hospital. A visit to the vet should be pleasant and fun, not stressful and fearful.
Free Free doesn’t mean that your pet will never experience anything uncomfortable at our hospital - he or she may be injured or ill, after all - but it does mean that we make every effort to reduce any fear, anxiety, and stress related to examinations, procedures, and grooming. Here are a few of the ways we help your pet stay comfortable and relaxed from arrival to departure.
When you first arrive at our hospital your senses and your pet’s will be greeted with pleasing smells from our aromatherapy diffuser, designed to calm and relieve anxiety. No hospital should smell like an animal hospital, and ours never does. To ease our patients even more, we have designed our waiting area to be species specific, with cats and dogs on opposite sides. Taking it one step further, we built a cat-only exam room (no dogs allowed) to provide an added layer of calmness for our feline friends. For those dogs that are a bit more nervous, we can bring you right away into our side door that leads directly into an exam room. For our anxious cats, we can bring them directly into the cat-only exam room upon arrival.
Upon entering the exam room, you and your pet will notice that performing exams on a cold, slick table are a thing of the past. For our dog patients, we provide comfortable bedding on the floor, where our medical team conducts the majority of their examinations and procedures. For our cat patients, we offer a cat tree as well as warm bedding to perform the majority of the examinations and procedures. Each room is equipped with natural pheromone
diffusers that emit calming substances into the air that are specific to dogs and cats, and play species-specific music bioacoustically engineered to calm your pet (and maybe even you.)
These examples and more await each and everyone of our patients and pet parents at Passionate Paws, providing a very unique one-of-a-kind experience. Our hospital becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice is just the natural progression from what my husband and I envisioned from the start. We are so excited to continue to improve the experience for our existing pets and pet parents and for those that are still to come.
Dr. Susan Bonilla is the owner of the award-winning Passionate Paws Animal Hospital in Waxhaw and our new location in Matthews/Weddington, offering traditional and complementary treatment options such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and physical therapy. Full-service grooming is also available at Waxhaw. You can reach her at 704-256-7576 or e-mail at Hello@PassionatePaws.Vet

SOUTHWEST REGIONAL LIBRARY
The Southwest Regional Library, located in Waxhaw, NC, opened its doors in April 2024. This state-of-theart facility is a community-centered resource, offering a diverse collection of books, digital media, and educational programs.
In 2016, voters approved a $10 million bond to fund the construction of a new library in Union County, NC. To further enhance the project, the Union County Library Foundation, Inc. (UCLF), a dedicated fundraising organization for the county’s libraries, initiated a Capital Campaign to raise an additional $1.5 million. The funds secured by the
Union County Education Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to mobilizing community and business support for the students and staff of Union County Public Schools (UCPS). We believe children need energetic and excited educators, so we provide encouragement for teachers who want to go above and beyond to help students feel seen, heard and valued. We believe in Championing, Funding, Innovating, Advocating, Connecting, and Strengthening the people of public education. We believe in teacher ideas, teacher initiatives, and teacher innovation in order to create teacher inspiration. We believe when we empower educators to think and dream bigger, students can think and dream bigger. Thank you for joining us in Supporting Students and Encouraging Educators.
Foundation were allocated for interior furnishings, programming spaces both inside and outside the building, and augmenting the library’s basic print and digital collections. These efforts transformed the library into an exceptional hub for learning and community engagement.
The 19,000-square-foot facility, situated near Cuthbertson Middle and High Schools, combines the resources of the Waxhaw Library while extending services to one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing regions.
Key features of the library include a children’s storytime area, programming
spaces, cozy reading nooks, a teen zone, a state-of-the-art STEAM lab, community meeting rooms, and a serene outdoor reflection area.
As noted by the Union County Library Foundation, this innovative library offers far more than books and digital content. It serves as a vibrant space for discovery, growth, and connection. It fosters a sense of shared purpose, welcoming people of all ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds to explore new ideas and opportunities.
The new Southwest Regional Library is located at 1515 Cuthbertson Road, Waxhaw, NC 28173

A RICH HISTORY Rooted In Heritage
For history enthusiasts, Waxhaw is a treasure trove of fascinating stories. From being the stage for pivotal battles to its claim as the contentious birthplace of a U.S. president, Waxhaw’s rich history and evolution into a charming small town make it a unique destination. Nestled between the Rocky River and the Catawba River, Waxhaw’s roots stretch back to the Waxhaw Indians, whose legacy continues to shape the identity of the area.
The Waxhaw Tribe: A Remarkable Legacy
The story of Waxhaw begins with the Waxhaw Indians, a tribe closely connected with the neighboring Sugeree and related to the Catawba tribe, all of whom spoke Siouan languages. The tribe earned the nickname “Flat Heads” due to their distinctive practice of shaping children’s skulls using cradleboards weighted to elongate the forehead. This cultural tradition was believed to enhance their vision for hunting.
Tragically, like many other Native American tribes, the Waxhaws faced devastating losses during the Yamasee War of 1715 and from diseases introduced by European settlers. Despite their near extinction, their name lives on in the region they once called home.
Early European Settlements
Following the decline of the Waxhaw tribe, European settlers of German, English, Scottish, and Welsh descent began to establish themselves in the area during the 1700s. The fertile land, proximity to the Catawba River, and access to the main trading path - connecting Petersburg, Virginia, to Augusta, Georgiamade the region an ideal spot for a growing community.
By 1889, Waxhaw was officially chartered, making it the third-oldest town in Union County. The town remained relatively obscure until the arrival of the railroad in 1888. Connecting Atlanta to the region, the railroad transformed Waxhaw into a hub of trade and commerce, a legacy still evident in the tracks that run through the heart of the town.
Waxhaw’s Presidential Connection
Waxhaw’s most famous native is Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, born in the area in 1767. However, Jackson’s birthplace has been the subject of a longstanding dispute between North and South Carolina, as his birth cabin straddled the state line. Regardless of the exact location, Jackson spent his formative years in Waxhaw before moving to Tennessee at age 21.
The town celebrates this presidential connection with two notable attractions. The Museum of the Waxhaws highlights the region’s history and Jackson’s legacy. Additionally, the Andrew Jackson State Park in nearby Lancaster, SC, offers exhibits that explore Jackson’s boyhood and the Waxhaw region’s influence on his life.
Waxhaw Today: A Blend of Heritage and Modernity Modern-day Waxhaw has evolved significantly but continues to honor its past. The railroad, once a vital trade route, now serves as a picturesque backdrop for the town’s historic district. A grassy green strip flanks the tracks, bordered by charming specialty shops and restaurants that attract both locals and visitors.
Waxhaw’s vibrant community spirit, rich history, and proximity to the bustling metropolis of Charlotte make it an ideal small-town destination. It’s a place where the echoes of the past resonate amidst the hum of modern life. From its Native American origins to its presidential ties, Waxhaw remains a testament to resilience and progress while staying rooted in its rich heritage.
