The President James K. Polk Historic Site is located in Pineville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The site is a museum and historic location that is managed by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

The site is home to the birthplace of the 11th president of the United States, James K. Polk. Polk served as president from 1845 to 1849. The site is also the only Chief-of-State birthplace in Mecklenburg County.

There are several events held at the historic site throughout the year. The most notable is the President’s Day Program held in mid-February on the Saturday before President’s Day each year. The President’s Day Event Program includes talks which focus on the lives of James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson. All three of these President’s were born on North Carolina soil.

Other events include cooking demonstrations and guided tours. Earlier this year was the “A Taste of Struggle: Historic Foodways from the Caribbean to the Americas.”

The next event is coming up on March 23:
