The new Museum of the Old Waxhaws in Waxhaw covers the period from 1650 to 1900, with exhibits about the Waxhaw Settlement, Native Americans, the American Revolution, Andrew Jackson, the Civil War, and Jesse James.
From small town charm to contested history, Waxhaw has much to offer for those who desire to escape the bustling city life of Charlotte. With the rising population, the town faces challenges. Residents resist change but, but must find a way to provide for the newcomers.
