Charlotte has made a unique mark on history in film, government, and culture. Nearly the entire Hunger Games saga was shot in North Carolina, with a number of scenes being set right in the middle of downtown at the Knight Theater on Tryon Street. The city has an impressive collection of museums with the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the Live Museum of the New South, and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. When it comes to the city’s place in American history, urban legend says that patriots from across North Carolina came to Charlotte to sign the Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence more than a year before the official declaration was signed in Philadelphia.
