Mad About Modern 2025

Charlotte’s most stylish architectural event is back, and this year, we’re turning down the thermostat and turning up the charm. The Mad About Modern Home Tour returns this November, making the most of the cooler weather as we open the doors to a curated selection of Midcentury and Modern homes across the Queen City—all in one incredible day.
Presented by the Charlotte Museum of History, Mad About Modern celebrates the sleek lines, bold design, and architectural innovation that define Charlotte’s Midcentury and Modern neighborhoods.
Each home on the tour has been hand-selected by our passionate committee of design and preservation enthusiasts. As these properties reach the 50-year mark, they become eligible for historic landmark designation—and this tour helps shine a spotlight on the importance of preserving Charlotte’s modern heritage.
To set the midmod mood, we’re also bringing classic cars back to the tour this year. Look for them at each tour home.
Whether you're an architecture aficionado, a preservation advocate, or just love a peek behind the doors of fabulous homes, Mad About Modern is your chance to experience some of Charlotte’s most unique and beautifully maintained residences.
Join us this fall and see history through a new lens—modern, meaningful, and unmistakably Charlotte.
You’ll also get a chance to meet Mr. Modernist himself, George Smart, at our kick off event on Nov. 7. George is a leading authority on the preservation of historic Modernist design and founder of USModernist, a non-profit that hosts the largest open digital archive of midcentury Modernist houses in the world.
