From Revolutionary-era roots to stories that shaped Charlotte, this landmark offers a fascinating cross-section of local history as America approaches its 250th anniversary. 🇺🇸

Thank you to John Le - Queen City News for spotlighting this important piece of Charlotte history in their “Spirit of America 250” series.

Check out the story and learn more about the legacy of the Hezekiah Alexander House.

When Alexander moved to Charlotte while in his 40s, his opulent lifestyle was not unnoticed.

Did you know the Culper Spy Ring played a crucial role in the American Revolution — and your students can decode their messages firsthand?

At CMH Homeschool Day on May 29, one of our activity stations lets students write with invisible ink and decode spy communications using the actual Culper code. It's history you can do, not just read about.

Other stations include weaving on a mini loom, building a water filter at the historic Springhouse, quill and ink writing, and making a printing press stamp. Students can also explore The American Revolution: The Augmented Exhibition with companion activity booklets available for elementary, middle, and high school levels.
