The "New South" is a common term these days, and it’s not difficult to understand why. The American South is a region with a history of both beautiful cultural contributions as well as political upheaval; it’s a varied place and its identity is a complex and at times even conflicted one. The "New South" terminology denotes that it’s an area that’s always changing—that the American South of today is very different from the American South of, say, fifty or a hundred or two hundred years ago.

Understanding the history of a city is an important part of enjoying all of the great things that it has to offer. Charlotte, North Carolina has a rich history that many visitors and even residents are unaware of. Life in the Queen City was much different 200 years ago, but luckily the Historic Latta Plantation allows its visitors to witness first hand the way of life that residents of the 1800s experienced.

As a sort of cultural center and artistic focal point, there are few Charlotte locales that can even come close to competing with the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. You can tell just from its name what this place is all about, and yet it is fair to say that there’s a lot more to the cultural import of the Bechtler than just its art exhibits. Indeed, the place is almost like living history, a museum that tells its own story and continues to inspire both locals and tourists alike.
