It's here! 🎉🎉 We are thrilled to share that after six years of planning and fundraising, this morning we welcomed the historic Siloam School to its new home at the museum! 😃 The building will remain under wraps for now to protect it from the elements. Over the coming months, we'll completely restore the school with the help of our many community partners 🛠 The restored space will become a center for history education, including exhibits about the 20th-century Black experience and the region’s history of racial discrimination and injustice. The Siloam School will be the only Rosenwald-designed school in Mecklenburg County devoted to history programming. We can't wait to welcome everyone inside this historic treasure when it opens to the public in 2024! Visit charlottemuseum.org/siloam to learn more about the school. 📸: Grant Baldwin A big thanks to our many community partners for helping make today happen, including: Tribute Companies Mecklenburg County City of Charlotte Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission Aldersgate Life Plan Services SILVER STAR COMMUNITY INCORPORATED LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD.
