We would love to arrange a private tour of Charlotte, which would also include admission into The Levine Museum of the New South. However, this event is completely dependent upon the family's level of interest. The tour will focus on the history, architecture, and unique aspects of Charlotte.
The Levine Museum of the New South will be a stop on the tour. This features the nationally known, award winning exhibit Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers: Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont in the New South. This exhibit showcases the extraordinary growth of Charlotte, as well as the struggles of its citizens. Covering 8,000 square feet, the exhibit features Charlotte and its 13 surrounding counties as a case study to illustrate the profound changes in the South since the Civil War.
Visitors enjoy an interactive, hands-on experience as they tour 6 different "environments" within the exhibit.
- Step inside a one-room tenant farmers house
- Run a hand through a pile of seed cotton
- Listen to the churning of the cotton mill
- Play checkers on the front porch of a mill house
- Sit in Good Samaritans Hospital Chapel, one of the first African-American hospitals in the SouthWalk down main street and try on a hat in an early Belk department store
- Sit at a lunch counter and hear personal accounts from local sit-in leaders
