The tour begins at 10 am on Saturday and runs until 4 pm. Attendees may visit the homes in any order. Simply check in at any of the homes to receive your welcome materials. Mad About Modern Tour merchandise, restrooms, and other amenities are located at the Charlotte Museum of History (3500 Shamrock Drive).
All tour proceeds support the Charlotte Museum of History’s mission of preserving and sharing Charlotte’s history. The museum is the steward of the oldest home in Mecklenburg County, the 1774 Hezekiah Alexander Rock House and homesite, as well as the historic Siloam School, both of which are on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Charlotte Museum of History presents the Mad About Modern Home Tour to celebrate and foster appreciation of midcentury + modern architecture and design, as well as contemporary thinking in these fields, by encouraging education, preservation, and sustainable modern living in the greater Charlotte area. Our historic built environment adds value to the Charlotte region in the following ways:
Historic buildings provide a tangible connection to our history.
Historic buildings add personality and character to our streetscapes and keep them from appearing bland and boring.
Historic buildings provide incubator space for entrepreneurs and artists who need lower-cost rents while establishing their businesses.
Sponsorship is a great way to have a positive impact on our historic built environment and support the Museum's ongoing work in the community. Sponsorship materials are available on the tour Sponsorship page, but please reach out to Evan Bohnen, Chief Advancement Officer at evan@charlottemuseum.org for more information.
