James K. Polk Homeplace, Mecklenburg County (Charlotte), North Carolina

On our way to Baltimore, we went through Charlotte, so we stopped for a few minutes at the James K. Polk Memorial Site.

A sign reads:
“James K. Polk
1795-1849
U.S. President, 1845-1849. Born nearby in house no longer standing. Land and reconstructed buildings now State Historic Site.”

We were there on Sunday, so we didn’t get to go inside the visitor’s center, but we did take these pics:

There’s much more about President Polk here at the White House site, and here at the Polk home in Columbia, Tennessee.
