Thursday Doors: President James K. Polk’s Birthplace

Since the James K. Polk Site near Charlotte, North Carolina, is only four miles away and offers easy bike access to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, I go there often.

Here are photos of the doors on the early 1800s style buildings. These aren’t the original Polk family buildings, but they are representative buildings from the area.

There are also guided tours through the buildings and a museum.

The red stuff would have been clay from the Little Sugar Creek a few hundred feet away, but is now reinforced with a cement of some sort.

  2. Frank, great shots. Have you been there during their President’s celebration? It’s been a few years since I’ve been there. I didn’t realize it connected to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.

    1. I have only been on one tour which was very informative. I mainly use this place as a destination for walks or a place to park the car. I think the connection to the greenway is new, but I have only lived in this area for two years. Everything is new to me.
