Our American Story is a storytelling project to collect and preserve our nation’s unique stories. They’re on a historic journey to collect the largest archive of American stories ever created.
Part of the project is American Story Roadshow, a cross-country journey in a custom Airstream mobile studio that will be collecting thousands of recorded interviews.
American Story Roadshow is visiting Charlotte on Monday, May 25, 2026. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Airstream will be at Walmart Supercenter, 3209 Pineville Matthews Road, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Each tour stop will feature local activation events, media opportunities, and community engagement activities.
Facilitated by trained interviewers, sessions will follow curated storytelling prompts centered around themes of identity, service, community, and personal legacy. Conversations will be recorded and archived, and a portion will be preserved at the Library of Congress, ensuring these voices become a permanent part of the American record.
Select stories — especially those featuring veterans, educators, and intergenerational families — will be shared with the public through collaborations with documentary filmmakers, broadcast outlets, and digital platforms.
