The Queen City. A world-class city. North Carolina’s largest city. It doesn’t matter which moniker you use, everyone knows you’re talking about Charlotte. The city is a dichotomy of the old and new. The second-largest financial center in the U.S., Charlotte is proud of her soaring skyscrapers and beautifully quaint, tree-lined neighborhoods. Named in honor of Queen Charlotte, wife of King George of England, and chartered in 1768, Charlotte is older than the United States. British General Cornwallis called Charlotte a “hornet’s nest of rebellion” in 1780. Ever since rail connections first linked Charlotte to global markets in the 1850s, the city has never seen a decade without population growth. From about 3,500 people at the close of the Civil War in 1865, the city’s population today exceeds 872,000.

Since the late 19th century, the North Carolina Governor’s Mansion has been one of the finest examples of Queen Ann Victorian architecture in the state. Known as “The Grande Dame of Blount Street,” the building’s construction incorporates native materials: bricks molded from Wake County red clay; oak and heart pine; sandstone and marble. Inside, more than 35,000 square feet of space house art, antique furnishings, and many beautiful architectural features. This half-day tour takes you to the Executive Mansion and includes a tour of its gardens (if available on your tour day), as well as a driving tour of the NCSU and Meredith College campuses, the NCSU School of Veterinary Medicine, and time permitting, a visit to one of downtown’s co-working spaces where the whole concept of “the office” is being redefined.
