The home of Alonzo Herndon, from enslaved to millionaire, Georgia first African American millionaire. Alonzo Herndon was the founder of Atlanta Life Insurance Company and his son Norris Herndon, was the banker behind the Modern Civil Rights movement. I will treasure this place with my life.

Wow! Great staff with warm smiles. They gave an amazing tour. You see and hear about Mr. Herndon and his family. Someone once said, "You don't know where you are going, unless you know where you come from...." You will be inspired to do great things and give back.
