Harris Active Older Adults enjoyed learning about Charlotte history with a private tour of “Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers” at the Levine Museum of the New South. The exhibit covered the history and cultures of the New South from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to today. #HarrisAOA #LifelongLearning
