Nestled in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn District, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park honors the legacy of the civil rights icon through his birthplace, the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, and serene memorial sites, making it an unforgettable stop for anyone seeking inspiration and a deeper understanding of American history.
"Prepare to be inspired and encouraged on the King Historic District Tour, which is meticulously researched by company founder and historian Akila McConnell. On the two-and-a-half-hour walking tour—at about 1.5 miles, the pace is leisurely—you’ll get an up-close look at some of the city’s most important civil rights locations and learn lesser-known stories in the neighborhood. With a maximum of 14 guests—there's no minimum, so it’s possible you could have the guide’s undivided attention—the experience feels intimate, even when it's at capacity. You’ll see the familiar highlights like The King Center, Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, but you’ll also visit Prince Hall Grand Lodge, once home to the nation’s first black-owned radio station—and Dr. King’s office. Just about everyone else will likely be fascinated." - Lia Picard, Jennifer Bradley Franklin

"After you’ve toured The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, pay homage to Martin Luther King, Jr. by heading to his Sweet Auburn neighborhood and checking out the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park. Here, you can visit his Queen Anne-style birth home, his resting place, and Ebenezer Baptist Church where he was ordained and served as a pastor alongside his father. All of the sites are within easy walking distance of one another." - MATADOR_NETWORK
