About Charlotte Museum of History

Charlotte Museum of History explores the region's past through indoor exhibits, a self-guided audio tour, and historic structures on its grounds. Visitors access the 1774 Alexander Rock House, a two-foot-thick stone structure built by enslaved laborers and home to a framer of North Carolina's first Constitution, through guided tours offered on weekdays and Saturdays. The homesite includes a log kitchen and springhouse, along with grounds where crops like tobacco, corn, and peaches were once grown alongside livestock including cattle, hogs, and chickens. The museum features the groundbreaking American Revolution augmented exhibition, which uses state-of-the-art technology to recreate scenes from the Boston Tea Party, Constitutional Convention, and Battle of Yorktown. The museum suits visitors interested in early American history, the experiences of enslaved people, and local heritage, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. General admission includes all indoor exhibits and access to the homesite structures.
