A new exhibit at the Charlotte Museum of History opens tomorrow, May 20, to celebrate the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
Why it matters: Before there was the Declaration of Independence there was the Meck Dec. The exhibit is one of many ways Charlotte is celebrating 250 years of history.
What to expect: "Meck Dec 250" examines Charlotte's role in America's fight for independence through documents and artifacts during American Revolution, plus modern Meck Dec memorabilia, plus an interactive diorama of Charlotte in 1775.
Stop by: The exhibit is on view through early 2026 and is included in the price of museum admission. There will be Meck Dec-themed tours of the museum's 1774 Rock House every hour from 11:30am-3:30pm on Saturday, May 24.
