Charlotte Museum of History

The Charlotte Museum of History and Hezekiah Alexander Homesite comprise multiple venues on an eight-acre wooded campus in east Charlotte.

The oldest structure, and the reason for the museum’s location, is the Hezekiah Alexander Homesite, a 5,000- square foot rock house. The Hezekiah Alexander House is the oldest surviving house in Mecklenburg County. Listed on the National Register for Historic Places, it was built circa 1774 and still stands on its original site. The house is accompanied by a reproduction log kitchen and reconstructed two-story springhouse.

The museum is a private non-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) classification from the Internal Revenue Service. It is governed by the Board of Trustees of the Hezekiah Alexander Foundation, a volunteer citizens group.
