Walking tour, Fourth Ward Park, cemeteries, houses of worship, arts

Fourth Ward is one of Charlotte's most walkable neighborhoods, and most of what makes it worth visiting is within a few blocks of each other.

Now live: the Fourth Ward Walking Tour — 48 individually indexable stops covering the neighborhood's Victorian residences, four historic churches, the McColl Center, the Dunhill Hotel, Old Settlers Cemetery, and more. Built from the Friends of Fourth Ward self-walking-tour document as the primary source, with Mercury Local editorial framing and cross-links to every related building, restaurant, or history piece on this site. Then full guides for Fourth Ward Park, the dog park, the three historic cemeteries, the four houses of worship, and the arts venues at the neighborhood's edge (McColl Center, Charlotte Ballet, Discovery Place, Blumenthal).

The walking tour alone replaces a PDF that no search engine can read with twenty-plus indexable pages that finally make Fourth Ward's history navigable online.
