Mecklenburg Historical Association [NC]
The Mecklenburg Historic Association preserves the history of the first county of the United States. Mecklenburg County declared its independence from Great Britain with a Declaration of Independence in May 1775, over a year before the Continental Congress took a similar action.
The association offers quarterly presentations on Mecklenburg history, periodic walking tours of local historic structures, and the docent program which offers re-enactments and guided tours or nearby historic sites. The website offers historical information regarding Mecklenburg County, as well as information regarding programs offered by the association.
