The Museum sits on an eight-acre wooded campus in fast-changing East Charlotte. It’s the site of the oldest surviving house in Mecklenburg County, the 1774 Hezekiah Alexander Rock House built circa 1774 for the Alexander household. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a designated local landmark, the house is Charlotte’s only remaining structure from the days of the Revolutionary period. Nearby are a relocated barn dating to the era, a reproduction log kitchen, and a reconstructed two-story springhouse.

Stained Glass Playhouse is a 501(c)3 non-profit community theatre specializing in high-quality productions in an intimate setting for an affordable ticket price, offering shows and theatrical events which focus on moral messages, family values, and community issues.

We must demonstrate the power of the arts to transform rural communities. We must reflect those communities with the productions we present and strike a balance between asking meaningful questions and our desire to entertain. We must create education programs anchored in truth and tell stories that encompass all ethnic, religious, and gender identities.
