Levine Museum of the New South engages a broad-based audience in the exploration and appreciation of the diverse history of the South since the Civil War, with a focus on Charlotte and the surrounding Carolina Piedmont. Valuing education, we work closely with schools, teachers, and the community to provide learning opportunities for youth of all ages. Please note our new location at 401 S. Tryon Street.
