All aboard! Matthews is 17 square miles and has grown from citizens in to a population of more than 30, today.

Bee City USA is a national nonprofit organization that recognizes, supports and encourages pollinator conservation in cities, towns and counties.

The sculpture is surrounded by a garden filled with flowers and plants that attract pollinators. You could kind of say all roads lead to Matthews, since you can hop on I, Hwy.
