Museu da História de Charlotte

Experiência negativa: Realmente decepcionado. Muito pouca substância (e erros gramaticais nas placas de trilha). Havia tão pouca história de Charlotte em relação à sua história muito rica. Confuso. Muito obrigado pela resposta! Voltarei para visitar as exposições rotativas. Ainda sou fã! :-)

Experiência positiva: Interesting place for all things vintage Charlotte Hornets....

Experiência fantástica: Charlotte Museum of History is an excellent site to visit with the whole family! Providing welcoming settings, cleanliness, and learning opportunities through engaging exhibits.

Experiência positiva: It was closed on Monday

Experiência negativa: Skip this place, they’ve got poor exhibits and don’t cover any local history with depth or substance. Its leadership seems to be focused on non-museum activities. It is a tragedy that the Levine museum closed while this is still open.

Experiência fantástica: Great Museum.

Experiência negativa: If you visit this museum thinking you will learn about the history of Charlotte, think again! My husband and I visited, and there were three exhibits-one on sports, one on portraits of African Americans and one on an African American opera company. We went back to the front desk and asked where Charlotte history was located. “We don’t have a timeline of Charlotte history, just the exhibits you saw, but we do have a house out back you can tour…at 2:00 pm”. It was 11:00 am. We are world travelers and often visit the history of a city before we sight see. This museum was a major disappointment!

Experiência fantástica: Attended the Siloam School opening yesterday. You all did a fantastic job! A special shout out to Mia and Kendall for being so knowledgeable and showing my family and I around as well as including my young nieces in the experience. If you are planning a visit to Charlotte, you need to add this museum to your itinerary!

Experiência positiva: Too bad there’s nothing left of Charlotte’s history than a few old houses and this little, disappointing place.

Experiência fantástica: I visited the Charlotte Museum of History and was delighted by the warm welcome given by Erica Dawson Naylor. I spent 2 hours walking the exhibits as well as the historic grounds and enjoyed every minute. The only sight that gave me pause was seeing Queen Charlotte directly in front of the door to the women's restroom. I sincerely hope Her Majesty has a better spot in the museum during my next visit. (lol) Whether you're a Charlotte native or just visiting, a trip to the Museum of History is a must. I look forward to seeing all the museum has planned for 2024!

Experiência fantástica: A hidden Gem !!! Very nice staff !! Great event space !!

Experiência positiva: We hosted my parent’s 92nd and 95th birthday party at the Charlotte Museum of History. Great venue and Christy’s team was wonderful about ensuring all ran smoothly. Thanks

Experiência negativa: Not worth even the cheap $10 admission. Very disappointing. The exhibits had almost nothing at all to do with the history of Charlotte... An opera exhibit with random Egyptian stuff, really? For someone who was genuinely really interested in the city and region's history this was a real letdown. We may not like all of our history, but it's important, we need to learn from it, not pretend it never happened.

Experiência positiva: We arrived and the first thing we saw was that employees were parking in the RV spaces (close to the entrance). Then came the wait, the woman was 15 minutes late to open up the doors. The ticket price would have been okay if the museum was fully functional, however, only one display was open. The other half of the museum was taken over by NC basketball - this is a historical museum, not a sports museum. One of the trails on the loop were closed due to a fallen tree. While the area about schools was interesting, had we known that this was all that was available we would have skipped this. Suggest you check to see if they really have historical areas open before you visit.

Experiência fantástica: This is the location where the 2023-2024 prom was held. It was very nice!. The event planner was very helpful, sweet and accommodating. I would absolutely hold an event of my own here. Outside of the prom, I found this museum to be very interesting and eye-opening. If you want to know the history of Charlotte (as the name says), you should definitely check out the Charlotte Museum of History!

Experiência fantástica: The African American Heritage Celebration was held here, and I was thrilled. Now, I can’t wait to go back and visit the museum itself.

Experiência fantástica: Lovely place. Very clean and informative. Lots of historic info.

Experiência negativa: Drove an hour to see some museums only to be told at 4:03 that they stop taking guests at 4…. Even though they close at 5. Apparently 3min is a huuuuge deal… or maybe… the people that work there just don’t want to do their job. I’m a paying customer i drove an hour away, and you wont let me in because the sign on the door says 4 o’clock is the latest people are allowed in? The sign on the door?… not something on the website, i was supposed to, from my house, know about the sign on the door? What a joke.

Experiência positiva: The rock house is worth seeing if you can go for the tour. The tour takes you through the 1st and 2nd floors and the out buildings. It lasted about 90 mins, and the guide Mike was awesome. The museum had a few exhibits, but I don't think I would go for just that.

Experiência fantástica: Great tour guide this was a really fun trip.

Experiência fantástica: A special event held by JCSU at the museum provided the purpose to visit this spatial palace. Filled with early American history and an exhibit filled with Charlotte Hornets Basketball memorabilia.

Experiência fantástica: Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and history. Beautiful grounds. Thank You

Experiência fantástica: Great place to go to learn about the history of Matthew's. Many pictures and documents to see. Be sure to ask the docent how the city got its name!

Experiência positiva: We enjoyed our walk around the grounds. It's not a huge place but really really enjoyed out time there. The woman working the gift shop was amazing! Super friendly! We highly recommend the cherry lip scrub they sell!

Experiência fantástica: Great experience and the staff was super knowledgeable. I think 2 hours is about the time to go through the museum. Beautiful grounds.

Experiência positiva: Interesting pretty small I've been to allot of Museums local and huge ones I feel like they could do more. But was Interesting.

Experiência fantástica: Thanks to the Charlotte Museum of History, we can see and feel what it was like to live in Charlotte centuries ago. A beautiful Museum; and the 1774 Hezekiah Alexander House is a historical treasure. Donations are ongoing to refurbish the Kitchen House, bringing more history back to life. A must visit Museum for all ages.

Experiência positiva: We expected to see a broader display of Charlotte history. The museum is significantly focused on the 1774 stone house, which we could not enter. There is a small section on news print cartoons and the beginnings of information on the recently added Siloam School. There appears to be a new exhibit coming but it was not available for viewing. Not the level of museum aligned with the name. Note: to access the stone house requires walking up a somewhat steep hill, which may be challenging for elders.

Experiência fantástica: I love learning new things and it was fun exploring the history of Charlotte!

Experiência fantástica: Great place to learn about local history! Some great exhibits and friendly people. Lots to explore on site!

Experiência fantástica: The Charlotte Museum of History in Eastern Charlotte was a great learning experience about the history of Charlotte and the state of North Carolina. You can allocate 2 hours to the museum, if you want to explore everything in detail. Their last admission is at 4pm every day when they’re open, so be mindful of that. There are mainly two sections to the museum—the first part is the outside where you can find the Hezekiah Alexander’s Rock House, the kitchen, and the spring house, including a few other structures. I appreciated that over the years, the museum has tried to maintain the originality of the structures both from outside as well as inside. The Rock House is the oldest building in the Mecklenburg County! I didn’t know that. It’s an easy walk to explore all the areas outside. There’s the freedom bell too which makes for a good photo spot. There’s a bit of history to the bell as well. The inside of the museum is spread across two floors with the lower floor having pictures related to Charlotte history over the years, an auditorium(for events I presume), and other significant artifacts and dioramas showcasing the events and people that shaped Charlotte. The second floor had a cartoon exhibit, and a section called “Charlotte Gems” which showcased the important people in Charlotte’s history. It was an enriching experience to learn about both. Cartooning indeed can be quite powerful drawing inspiration from the world affairs, and in turn influencing the masses it reaches to. The exhibit shed light on the prominent cartoon artists of Charlotte. I wish there was more information in the museum about the slaves and the Native American people who shaped Charlotte, but the information is scant, not because it’s the museum’s fault, but there’s literally scant information available about them. For instance, the information about the slaves is only available through the writings of Hezekiah, who owned them. As accurate as those writings may be, they still cannot completely capture their lives. The museum continues to try and uncover new information about Charlotte’s history, which is wonderful. Overall, I highly recommend the museum in case you’re a history buff like me, and even if you aren’t, you still can find something of interest here. The staff is polite, and does their best to help. There’s a discount available for students, seniors and children. In case you want to do a rock house tour, that’s available too for an additional fee. Check out their website for the latest prices. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the museum wasn’t busy. There’s a big parking lot outside, so parking shouldn’t be a problem.

Experiência negativa: Was so disappointed...

Experiência fantástica: Absolutely STUH-nin ♥️

Experiência negativa: I was disappointed not much of interest

Experiência positiva: Normal Museum

Experiência negativa: Disappointing, not the History of Charlotte, only narrow perspectives

Experiência negativa: Not much information, model houses, all just photos and reading.

Experiência fantástica: Black History exhibit Informative but small

Experiência fantástica: You will have a good time with your family

Experiência positiva: Very nice staff and a good place to get an idea of the history here.

Experiência positiva: Interesting place Enjoyed it Staff were helpful A good place for homeschoolers

Experiência fantástica: It is an amazing place for those who are History freaks and for those who are interested to learn about the history of Charlotte.

Experiência fantástica: First time here, attended a Workshop with Jackie Shelton Green. It was lovely and eye opening

Experiência negativa: Expensive and there is literally nothing. Takes about 15 minutes max to complete everything inside if you read and about another 15 to walk everything outside which is also close to nothing and they charge extra to get a tour!!

Experiência negativa: Lack of technology, lack of accurate dates, lots of reading, not family friendly. I love museums but this one is just a waste of time

Experiência negativa: I was here for a wedding on 7/13/19. The staff watch the wedding like a hawk and treated us like we can not conduct ourselves as human beings.. I wouldn’t recommend this place as a wedding spot..

Experiência fantástica: you know im 100% simping over a ecils fo ydlom ssa daeb that has the same name as this city (yes i have nothing better to say) but the museum is dog collar friendly

Experiência fantástica: I felt fortunate to attend the viewing and discussion of Blurring the Color Line. It was very insightful and I was pleased to meet the film's maker, Crystal Kwok.

Experiência fantástica: Having lived in Charlotte since 2007, it was about time to tour the historical sites. I had no idea how interesting the "Charlotte Museum of History" would prove to be. I recommend a visit

Experiência negativa: The only interesting thing is Hezekiah Alexander House. They don’t have any other actual historical exhibits, just a lot of informational boards. Moreover, we’ve been there on Saturday and they had some kind of dance competition in the museum. Loud music is not appropriate in the history museum. Visit doesn’t worth $10.

Experiência fantástica: A wonderful place! Suitable for adults and children. The museum is small, but there is something to see and get in touch with the past. It is important to know the history.

Experiência positiva: I was really surprised by the lack of artifacts on display, but the information around the museum was nicely displayed. Wish we could have seen the inside of the 1700s house. Bell didn't ring.

Experiência fantástica: Learned something new about Charlotte,NC

Experiência negativa: The Charlotte Museum of History is an impressive building. For an entry fee of $10, the exhibits themselves felt a bit disjointed and lacked more display items to capture interest. Sections of text were interesting, but difficult to justify the entry fee for. A quick Google and you'd learn the same information that the museum provides. I believe if I'd have been on the guided tour my rating would have been higher. However, I'd not bother as we struggled to fill and hour here.

Experiência negativa: DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT THIS VENUE!!!! I directed a wedding at the Charlotte Museum of History one month ago and it was the worst experience EVER. The Operations & Events Manager, was unprofessional and argumentative the entire time. She even went as far as to make a serious allegation against me which was later proven by multiple people to be FALSE. An allegation that could have lead to the police showing up and ruining a brides wedding!!!!!!!!! Over the last 20 plus years, I've directed and coordinated weddings/receptions across NC and SC and have never witnessed such mean-spirited treatment. I can honestly say at some point during the two day event, there were run-ins with the bride, the bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, the catering staff and myself. As a matter of fact the experience left us with a litany of "negative" treatment at the hands of one person and one person only! I will sum it up by saying the treatment was reported at the highest level in great detail. To date, seemingly damage control is being done by the venue....responding to negative reviews from years ago indicating how things have changed. Well, the Operations & Events Manager remains the same. So, as of one month ago it was "status quo"

Experiência positiva: I remember the museum to be more lively and more exhibits to see and it was more things to learn I haven’t been back since I was kid but yesterday I decided to go back and to show my lil sis the museum that we always past to go home. The museum inside looks empty not many things to see it looks like the close some parts off and took some exhibition away. It was pretty small and fast to go through. However it’s still an amazing place to see the last standing homes from the past still standing just wish we came earlier to get a tour inside because we could had only see from the outside and also the big bell use to have a button to ring the bell not anymore.

Experiência fantástica: It's a wonderful museum containing local and regional history. I think it's important for people to know about the history of where they live and this place had loads of it for Charlotte. It was surprisingly big and looked very well kept. Staff were nice and helpful. We took the tour of the old stone house/spring house/etc. And the guide was great. All well worth your time and money.

Experiência positiva: The Charlotte Museum of History is certainly worth visiting. The layout is spacious and open. Out to the stone house is a pleasant walk. I liked seeing the garden, kitchen, and spring house. The inside is a hodgepodge of historical exhibits. I felt there was some disconnect of focus, but overal I mostly enjoyed the visit

Experiência fantástica: Quality museum and exhibits. Great staff and lots of space. Nice time. Worth a journey.

Experiência fantástica: I truly appreciated the education that this place provided. Such a nice museum and the staff in the giftshop was so friendly and helpful.

Experiência fantástica: 2 floors of exhibits. Paid $18 for museum admission and tour. Our tour took 1.5 hrs and was of the Ezekiel Alexander house, kitchen and spring house on the museum grounds. Was fun. Recommend

Experiência fantástica: Fantastic experience. I can't believe it had taken me this long to check this place out. We came for the AAPI family day, so admission was free. The exhibit was beautiful and informative. The cultural shows and activities were fun and engaging. We checked out the rest of the museum and there were a couple cool exhibits but it does seem like there should be more? The building is pretty spacious but each exhibits room feels like there could be more to it, if that makes sense? An exciting feature we weren't aware of until we saw the model upstairs was the Alexander Rock House. We followed the trails out back to the actual home and what a historic gem! We were able to walk through 2 floors of the actual house, another exterior building, the kitchen garden.. we then walked the path over the creek and to the spring house and then followed the trail back through the woods, along the creek, back to the museum. That was such a cool find!

Experiência positiva: The museum is very nice and clean. I thought the staff was very friendly and personable. Although I loved the items and information inside, I feel it needs to be expanded a bit more. I also would have loved a more in-depth look inside the historic buildings. Whether it be through photographs or specific windows to look inside. Hopefully, that gets added in the future. Overall, it was a quiet and nice experience. It has a lot of potential. They do offer military discounts to active duty members, which is nice.

Experiência positiva: Recommend the history tour of the house. The museum on its own is a bit lack luster. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Glad I went but likely wouldn't make a second trip back. Reasonably priced!

Experiência fantástica: I chaperoned with my daughter's third grade class from Carmel Christian School and had a wonderful visit with you this week. Survivor Jamestown was a big hit. Your docents were very courteous and professional and the facility is top notch. Thanks for all you do!

Experiência fantástica: My husband was here. He liked the place.

Experiência fantástica: The Charlotte Museum of History was able to host a 50th Birthday for one of my clients. What an amazing venue, chalk full of history. Tracy the Event Coordinator was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her & her team were super flexible and most accommodating to me & my clients needs. I appreciate her honesty and genuine personality. She’s an incredibly hard worker that enjoys every second of what she does. I look forward to working with these guys again in the near future.

Experiência fantástica: This place is such a gem to Charlotte! Being a Charlotte native myself I find it so intriguing learning about so much that I never knew happened, or maybe I just don’t remember being taught that in school lol. Love when they have various festivals there, always so fun and informative. The inside is beautiful as well, I’ve attended a wedding there and everything was just gorgeous.

Experiência fantástica: Space was clean and friendly. All protocols were in place and parking was ample. Great experience.

Experiência fantástica: I always find myself revisiting. Thankful for its existence for us history fans.

Experiência fantástica: Very nice experience.

Experiência fantástica: History of Charlotte

Experiência fantástica: So much to see and learn!!

Experiência fantástica: Lovely place. Interesting place to learn about Charlotte and a diorama to die for honey lol...

Experiência fantástica: Great little piece of history for the area. So glad I could visit.

Experiência fantástica: Space was clean and friendly. All protocols were in place and parking was ample. Great experience.

Experiência positiva: I enjoy being their I will go back

Experiência positiva: Very clean and organized. Exhibits were fascinating. Would like to see more.

Experiência fantástica: We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and were educated on the history of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and Hezekiah Alexander.

Experiência positiva: The place was very nice.My 709yr old father mention that it would be nice if there was a tour guide to walk visitors around.

Experiência fantástica: Very nice place with ample parking space. The Rock House and the outdoor area are very cool. Note that in order to get inside the house, you need to be with a tour group.

Experiência negativa: Very Nice booth in and outside must come with kids FOR Charlotte history

Experiência positiva: Nice tour and very informative information on the signs to be read. Our tour guide placed a lot of emphasis that she was new, which led to the quality of our tour. She was really patient and did really well with the extremely young, inquisitive children on the tour though. I enjoyed the old Charlotte signs exhibit near the lobby.

Experiência positiva: The 1774 Alexander Rock House is the main attraction. The house is outside behind the museum. You have to pay for a guided tour to go inside. It was still worth the admission price to visit the homestead and museum even though we didn't get to go inside. A large portion of the first floor is dedicated to learning about the house; it was very interesting. The museum is relatively small. If you like to read absolutely everything be prepared to spend 4-5 hours. If you like to just quickly go along just looking and only reading when something grabs your attention then you're looking at more like 1.5 to 2 hours. Enjoy! There were lots of interesting facts about Charlotte, and the natives. We also learned a little about the state of North Carolina. Overall it was a good experience and worth it, we even bought a kids book about George Washington from the gift shop. My only complaints are because you don't get a map, or any explanation of the museum. You have to find your way to the gift shop, immediately to the right upon entering, to get your wristband and pay if you didn't buy tickets online. From there you are set on your way to figure it out on your own. We wouldn't have even known there was a house outside if I hadn't asked if we were able to leave and come back since we had wristbands. She said we couldn't leave the property, but could go outside because there was a house out there. Then we had to ask how to get outside. She showed us and said there was a bell outside and we could ring it, but would need permission. I guess we were supposed to ask her for permission right then and there because there was no one outside except for the person leading a group on a guided tour of the house. The bell was huge, think liberty bell. I would have liked to have rung the bell, but I feel I missed out on the opportunity due to the lack of clarity about the whole museum experience. Be sure to follow the trail in a loop all the way past the house and some other structures back to the museum. Again, the signage wasn't clear at all where to go. Once inside the museum is small and easy to find your way around. You find out what exhibit is there once you get there.

Experiência positiva: Fun museum. On the smaller side maybe four exhibits total. Signs are informative but lengthy. The historical house on site was interesting and the grounds were enjoyable to walk as well.

Experiência fantástica: Learned a lot. Staff is very informative. Exhibits are well done showing the life of the revolution, settlers, and native American Indians (this was my favorite).

Experiência fantástica: Great museum in Charlotte, NC. Also here is the Hezekiah Alexander Homesite, and we really enjoyed the tour of it. Lots of history to be learned here dating back to 1774. If you get the chance to visit, I highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Experiência fantástica: I took my 4.5 year old and 10 month old and we had THE BEST TIME! We walked around the property, had lunch, then played a bit in the child space before taking the guided tour with Nolan. I cannot even begin to tell you how outstanding and engaging Nolan was!! So much knowledge, so much fun, and clearly a lot of interest and passion for what he was sharing. The fact that my 4 year old hung out for over an hour was astounding. Thank you for such a fantastic experience. Overall a simple place, easy to get around, nice grounds. The giant bell that chimed on the tour was also a hit.

Experiência fantástica: I was visiting over from San Diego to see a friend and I was NOT disappointed when I came to visit! The museum was gorgeous and very informative, the staff handled everything very effectively and efficiently (especially Alea! Thanks again for helping me out and telling me where to visit while I was over there), and the history just felt like it came to life! Visit if you can and thanks for hosting me while I was there!

Experiência fantástica: Tour was worth it. Guide was informative and entertaining. Our group included children, he oncluded them in the activities, held their attention.

Experiência fantástica: Very friendly, knowledgeable staff and beautiful exhibits of Colonial Charlotte and the surrounding area. Their current exhibits of Catawba Native pottery and Rosenwald schools were fantastic.

Experiência positiva: Just like many other reviews this museum has a lot of information about the history of Charlotte foundings. You will find a ton of information, interactive displays, visual& interactive portraits and signage, exhibits, and of course the main attraction of the 1774 Alexander Rock House. Self guided tours are available as well as the chance to ring & tour the liberty/freedom bell. outside.

Experiência fantástica: Was a Nice/Small Little History Museum in Charlotte, had some nice displays that were very enjoyable.

Experiência fantástica: We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and were educated on the history of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and Hezekiah Alexander.

Experiência fantástica: We enjoyed a wonderful time a the museum and in the Olde Mecklenburg Genealogy research area. The weather was beautiful for the outdoor tour. I look forward to visiting again for research and new exhibits.

Experiência fantástica: Loved the tour of the 1774 house, so worth it when you are a history buff!!

Experiência fantástica: Had to help my son finish a assignment for 4th grade. It was perfect.

Experiência fantástica: This is a great place to learn about the history of Charlotte. I highly recommend visiting the museum, and then walking the Liberty Walk. It gives great perspective to the history of the city.

Experiência fantástica: Lovely place. Interesting place to learn about Charlotte and a diorama to die for honey lol...

Experiência positiva: Great place to gather with family and friends.
