The Historic Landmarks Commission’s Adventure Club, in partnership with Historic Elmwood Pinewood, is taking our popular headstone cleaning event to Elmwood Pinewood Cemetery. This is the final resting place of many of Charlotte’s most notable citizens, including textile pioneer D.A. Tompkins, developer Edward Dilworth Latta, former Charlotte mayor S. S. McNinch, and W.W. Smith, Charlotte’s first major Black architect.

Mecklenburg County’s Historic Landmarks Department already offers its Adventure Club so that you can visit our county’s historic properties. Now we’re launching a new initiative so that you can learn more about those properties: a brand-new book club specifically associated with the history of Mecklenburg County and North Carolina, as well as historic preservation efforts in general. We call it “Historic Bookmarks” (yes, very “punny”!).
Our Historic Bookmarks book club is holding its first-ever book club meeting at Camp North End and we want you to join us! We’ll be discussing Charlotte’s role during WWII with Charlotte’s own Meredith Ritchie, author of Poster Girls, a historical fiction novel set in Charlotte during WWII and based on true but forgotten events.
Event Specifics
Registration: Please register online by July 9.
Weather: If it rains, we’ll move across the street to the Free Range Bar patio at 301 Camp Road, Charlotte.
Parking: Camp North End has ample parking. We recommend using the Mount Entrance Parking Lot at 1774 Statesville Avenue, Charlotte.
