Charlotte NC History: Touring the City’s Oldest Building (1774)

Step inside Charlotte’s oldest surviving home with History Before Us at the Charlotte Museum of History. Our guide, Kyle Booker, walks us through rooms where the city’s story began-sharing rich context about the people, labor, and community that shaped Charlotte and the wider Mecklenburg region. From architecture to everyday lifeways, we connect the past to the present and highlight why preserving these spaces matters.
