The Levine Museum of the New South, is a history museum located in Charlotte, North Carolina whose exhibits explore issues relevant to the history of the greater Charlotte metro area and spark curiosity about our world today.
[2][3] Originally opened in 2001 at Seventh and College streets, the museum's previous exhibit was called "Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers: Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont in the New South", and featured period displays that reflected regional history.
The displays included a one-room tenant farmer's house, a cotton mill and mill house, an African-American hospital, an early Belk department store, and a civil-rights era lunch counter.
[6] Relocation was considered in 2020 because the site had no room for expansion and was worth $7.7 million according to county records.
This news comes as the museum adds virtual activities such as the digital walking tour starting in August 2021.
