Uptown Charlotte: A Self-Guided Audio Tour to the Heart of Queen City

Despre activitate

Uncover Uptown Charlotte's rebellious past on this self-guided walking tour, narrated by actor Phil Biedron. Starting at Independence Square, the rumored cradle of American liberty, trace the story of how North Carolina declared independence before the rest of the colonies, wander through the Old Settlers Cemetery where Revolutionary War heroes are buried, and learn how the state's first gold rush led to the founding of the US Branch Mint. Discover why Charlotte became a major banking capital, hear the ghost story behind the Dunhill Hotel, and pass a Hunger Games filming spot. The 2-mile route winds past the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and Mint Museum Uptown, ending at Romare Bearden Park.

Highlights:

  • The real story behind North Carolina's early, controversial bid for independence.
  • Revolutionary War graves, a gold rush, and the birth of America's first US Branch Mint.
  • Ghost stories, banking history, and a Hunger Games filming spot.

Enjoy at your own pace, with no big crowds!
