We came down to Charlotte for an academic meeting, and, because of its pre-revolutionary history, expected, at least , more historical sites, buildings than we had time for. Not the case! Old Charlotte has apparently been bulldozed to the ground by the bank/developers.
The Charlotte Museum is a wonderful afternoon of time, well spent, viewing the installations of early life in the South and the history of the Carolinas.
The adjoining homestead and tour is very impressive. The staff is very committed and well informed.
The museum exhibits are for all ages. Rotating/temporary exhibits, such as the one from the Smithsonian on Native American Code communication in WW2 was fascinating.
Hurray to those who made this happen!
I am from a city that also destroyed its architectural treasures and put up a parking lot.
