The Charlotte Museum of History

@pitkin_ryan Thanks for coming over, neighbor! And for your steadfast coverage of the long journey required to restore the Siloam School. It was a community labor of love, for sure, and we're so proud to have Siloam on our East Charlotte campus so we can share its stories for years to come.

Made a visit to our new neighbors at @CLThistory today. Story to come on the new exhibit but was also happy to tour the Siloam School for my first time since its move and renovation. I remember walking through the building in its original location. Such an achievement to save it.

Got May 20th plans yet? Head to the corner of Trade & Tryon in Uptown at noon on Tuesday for the official commemoration of the Meck Dec's 250th anniversary. Then come see our newest exhibit, Meck Dec 250. Exhibit and 2 pm historic tour included in general admission. #clt

Sneak peek of an amazing item from our "Meck Dec 250" exhibit, opening May 20. This is the first standalone printing of the Meck Dec, from 1826. Only 6 other copies are known to exist. Thanks, @CLTAtkins, for loaning this important artifact. @themecdec #clt #clthistory #mecdec
