SUMMARY:American Revolution\, the Augmented Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are on sale now for the Charlotte Museum of History’s most ambitious exhibition ever\, American Revolution\, the Augmented Exhibition\, opening April 14\, 2026. Developed by Histovery in partnership with the Museum of the American Revolution\, this national exhibition uses cutting-edge augmented reality and interactive 3D recreations to immerse visitors in the defining moments of 1763–1789. Using Histovery’s patented HistoPad tablet\, guests can explore events such as the Boston Tea Party\, the Constitutional Convention\, and the Battle of Yorktown\, while visiting historic Boston\, Philadelphia\, and New York and learning about the diverse individuals who shaped America’s founding. The Charlotte Museum of History is the only venue in the Carolinas to host the exhibition\, which will travel nationwide through 2031 as part of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. \nThe exhibition is especially meaningful at the museum’s historic site\, home to the 1774 Alexander Rock House and its original owner\, Hezekiah Alexander\, a Revolutionary statesman and framer of North Carolina’s first Constitution and Bill of Rights. Recently designated a site of statewide historic significance—one of only ten properties in North Carolina to hold this rare distinction—the Rock House underscores the region’s deep Revolutionary roots. In addition to the national exhibition\, the museum will feature a dedicated gallery on the Revolution in the Carolinas\, highlighting stories such as Captain Jack’s ride to Philadelphia and pivotal victories at King’s Mountain and Cowpens. Tickets are available now at charlottemuseum.org/america250.

SUMMARY:Asia and Asians in the 18th Century Mid-Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Asia was known for centuries in Europe\, and the British were keen to profit off the exotic goods through commerce. This trade was far from a one-sided exchange\, it was a dialogue between two very distinct cultures. Goods\, ideas and people flowed through trade routes established by the British East India Company and reached as far as the 13 colonies (soon\, the nascent United States). Asians arrived as distant foreigners in a strange land\, but left an indelible mark that has only recently been uncovered through careful research and revisiting overlooked documents. \nAbout the Speaker: Daniel J. Sieh is a Living Historian with over 13 years of experience working with historical museums throughout the East Coast. Previously\, Daniel has worked at Colonial Williamsburg and later on at Claudemoore Colonial Farm as one of their historical interpreters. He graduated with a History degree from the College of William and Mary in 2016 and has a Master’s degree from American University.

Learn about and sample original cosmetic and skincare techniques in your very own take-home kit. Receive an informational packet along with instructions on the various styles and looks that were popular at the time. We will debunk some myths and have fun as we learn tips and tricks of historical beauty application and the ideology behind 18th-century artifice. \nYour ticket includes: \n\n\nTwo complimentary drinks \n\n\nLight bites (charcuterie) \n\n\nA history lesson with Alicia Schult \n\n\nA curated take-home cosmetic box set (a $85 value)” \n\n\nCome prepared to learn\, create\, and see the 18th century through a new lens\, one powder puff at a time. \nAlicia’s mission is to bring ancient knowledge of natural and herbal remedies to modern audiences in a way that is accessible and understandable. She strives to uncover hidden recipes and reproduce them\, making this knowledge and healing abilities available to the world through her products. She inspires and educates others\, just like her grandmother did for her. \nShe lives with her partner and their two apothecary cats in Wisconsin. They love traveling the world\, perusing antiques and junk shops\, and looking for lost information. Before the Historical Apothecary\, Alicia self-published a few sewing and drafting manuals to more accurately facilitate and recreate modern historical garments. Currently\, she is branching out and writing a novel rooted not in the historical apothecary but in other lost ancient wisdom. \nShe has been studying the ancient and historical art of compounding natural and herbal ingredients and their uses throughout history for over 35 years. She has degrees in history\, museum work\, anthropology\, and archaeology. She enjoys teaching classes and giving lectures on historical beauty and apothecaries throughout history. Before the apothecary\, she had her own bespoke historical clothing business and worked in the museum world. She still collaborates with museums for her work and has an extensive collection of original apothecary and beauty products\, along with other artifacts\, archives\, and manuscripts. Her work can be seen in many museums around the world.

SUMMARY:Spill the Tea: Painted Faces and Powders
DESCRIPTION:Spend your Saturday morning steeped in history. Join us for tea\, light bites\, and an engaging lecture exploring the hidden stories of women in the apothecary tradition — from healers and shopkeepers to educators and heritage keepers who sustained medical knowledge and community care across generations. \nCosmetic and apothecary historian Alicia Schult presents “Behind the Counter\, the Family\, and Beyond: Women in the Apothecary from Healers to Heritage Keepers.” Together we’ll explore the overlooked women who worked in apothecaries\, examine how the apothecary differed from the pharmacy\, and trace women’s roles in healing traditions from pre-18th century Europe through WWII and the rise of modern regulations. \nYour ticket includes a curated tea service\, light bites inspired by classic tea fare\, and Alicia’s presentation. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase during the event. \nAlicia’s mission is to bring ancient knowledge of natural and herbal remedies to modern audiences in a way that is accessible and understandable. She strives to uncover hidden recipes and reproduce them\, making this knowledge and healing abilities available to the world through her products. She inspires and educates others\, just like her grandmother did for her. \nShe lives with her partner and their two apothecary cats in Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:American Revolution\, the Augmented Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are on sale now for the Charlotte Museum of History’s most ambitious exhibition ever\, American Revolution\, the Augmented Exhibition\, opening April 14\, 2026. Developed by Histovery in partnership with the Museum of the American Revolution\, this national exhibition uses cutting-edge augmented reality and interactive 3D recreations to immerse visitors in the defining moments of 1763–1789. Using Histovery’s patented HistoPad tablet\, guests can explore events such as the Boston Tea Party\, the Constitutional Convention\, and the Battle of Yorktown\, while visiting historic Boston\, Philadelphia\, and New York and learning about the diverse individuals who shaped America’s founding. The Charlotte Museum of History is the only venue in the Carolinas to host the exhibition\, which will travel nationwide through 2031 as part of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. \nThe exhibition is especially meaningful at the museum’s historic site\, home to the 1774 Alexander Rock House and its original owner\, Hezekiah Alexander\, a Revolutionary statesman and framer of North Carolina’s first Constitution and Bill of Rights. Recently designated a site of statewide historic significance—one of only ten properties in North Carolina to hold this rare distinction—the Rock House underscores the region’s deep Revolutionary roots. In addition to the national exhibition\, the museum will feature a dedicated gallery on the Revolution in the Carolinas\, highlighting stories such as Captain Jack’s ride to Philadelphia and pivotal victories at King’s Mountain and Cowpens. Tickets are available now at charlottemuseum.org/america250.
