The Charlotte Museum of History is a fascinating collection of some of the city's most interesting and dramatic stories, many of which you won't find in your average history book. The various interactive exhibits that are dramatically presented in this meticulously prepared venue are sure to capture the imagination of every history buff. The museum is located on the property of the Hezekiah Alexander Homesite and its lush, inviting greenery adds a touch of North Carolina's natural beauty to one of Charlotte's most respected historical sites.

Charlotte's Festival in the Park takes place every September in Freedom Park and offers locals and visitors a chance to celebrate the spirit of the city in a variety of ways. There's live music, great food, and a large selection of arts and crafts created by local artisans that truly capture the spirit of the area. There are also several displays of art from local, regional and even nationally recognized talents. Just be prepared for a long walk into the park, as parking spaces are at a premium and often the only one you'll find is relatively far away - just look at the walk as a chance to enjoy the scenery and bond with fellow festival-goers.

Alexander Michael's, or "Al Mike's" as it's affectionately known, is one of those special nightlife hangouts where you'll feel right at home the minute you set foot in the door. The low-key atmosphere and laid-back attitude of its patrons will ensure that your first visit won't be your last. There's a tasty menu available that features burgers, nachos and fried pickles, among many other delectable choices. And even though the kitchen closes early, the bar is open late, and that alone is reason enough to stay late at Al Mike's.
