Charlotte Museum of History

The Charlotte Museum of History's exhibit program serves the museum's mission and objectives by "sharing Charlotte's stories." The galleries help visitors understand the history of Charlotte and what it means to be a Charlottean. The exhibits showcase and interpret the growing collection that emphasizes Charlotte's rich and varied history to illustrate the interrelationship of Charlotte's past, present, and future.

Guided tours of the Hezekiah Alexander Homesite are offered daily at 1:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. Knowledgeable docents dressed in 18th century costume lead visitors through the buildings and grounds, discussing artifacts and furnishings found in the buildings, and illustrating the everyday lives of the Alexanders. They also place these buildings and people in the broader context of the history of early Charlotte and its position in the fight for American independence.
