No. Each of the homes on this tour are someone’s home and not open to the public. Please be respectful of the owners and do not attempt to visit these homes outside of the tour.
The tour begins at 10 am on Saturday, September 24 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.
Virtual homes provide an opportunity to showcase important parts of our midcentury + modern built environment that may not be otherwise accessible due to constraints such as parking. We are in the process of finalizing the homes for the 2023 tour and may include virtual selections depending on interest and availability.
All proceeds from the Mad About Modern Home Tour support The Charlotte Museum of History, a nonprofit that shares Charlotte’s history through the stories of its people, places and events and encourages historical perspective. The Museum is the steward of the Hezekiah Alexander House (ca. 1774) and home site, the oldest home in Mecklenburg County.
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 coming soon, but please reach out to Lauren Wallace, Development Director at lauren@charlottemuseum.org for more information.
