Walking Tours

The Trail of History selects individuals for commemoration via a rigorous selection process led by a select committee of local historians. The Trail of History seeks to represent Charlotte’s diverse ethnic, religious, and political history, as well as striving for gender and ethnic diversity, across the sweep of the area’s rich 250-year history.
