Charlotte Museum of History

The museum features exhibits that relate to the history of Charlotte and the surrounding areas. A costumed docent conducts tours of the homesite, which includes the 1774 Hezekiah Alexander House, a two-story springhouse and a hand-hewn log kitchen with a working rock fireplace. Alexander was a signer of the Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence; he built the 'Rock House' for his family from locally quarried stone. The house is furnished with Piedmont antiques, and the kitchen is used for Colonial demonstrations. Museum, grounds open Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday & Sunday 2-5pm; free to the public.
