We went here expecting to see the history of the area (based on tripadvisor reviews). Instead it was an exhibit about Philipino history. The only bits about the local history were items in two small galleries. The house tour was about the only place we learned much about local history (the website claims to have "living history" but we never... More

About a year before our wedding we searched and searched for a place to have it. We came across the Charlotte Museum of History and felt welcomed from the very beginning.

The story is much more interesting than the actual building themselves and... More
