Aviation Museum Charlotte/Douglas Int'l Airport Charlotte, NC Phone: (704) 359-8442 Web-Site |
The
wood and wires of the first airplanes. Daring x-planes, tearing down the
wall of sound. These jets defended our freedom. These choppers brought our
soldiers home. You can see it all here, amid the excitement of one of America's
busiest airports. 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight from the shores of Carolina into the dawn of the 20th Century. They could scarcely have dreamed that just decades later, Americans would walk on the Moon. Visit us this year for a look back at the Century of Flight, up close and hands on. |

Museum of Art 2730 Randolph Road Charlotte, NC 28207 Phone: (704) 337-2000 Web-Site |
The Mint Museum of Art initially served the region as the first branch of the United States Mint, coining $5 million in gold from 1836 to the outbreak of the Civil War. A grassroots community effort during the Depression saved the original Federal-style building designed by William Strickland from demolition and moved it to its present Randolph Road site. The museum formally opened to the public on October 22, 1936 as North Carolina's first art museum. | ||||
