Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park

The birthplace of the civil rights movement is a place I recommend visiting when in Atlanta. So much history in this one location. The home where Martin Luther King Jr can be toured but be prepared to get there early if you want to be able to register for the home tour. The tour is free. There is a museum you can visit, firehouse no. 6 is open too as well as the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. All areas are free of charge. Bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated as you do a lot of walking through the area.

Our visit here is an experience I will never forget. It was informative and truly inspiring. Our visit literally brought my 12 year old daughter to tears. She said that for the first time she truly got a feeling for the horrors our ancestors endured. I too was brought to tears but not as visibly as my daughter. She walked down an isle that shared the encounters of Dr. King's life and other civil rights activists. By the time she was at the end of the timeline her devastation was palpably noticeable. She said she learned more in that one day than she ever did in class.

Was able to visit here while attending a conference. I was lucky to find a spot on the original birth house tour. The stories from the park ranger were informative and entertaining. Only 16 max per tour so you are able to take a lot in. A must see for anyone in the Atlanta area for business or travel.

A must visit place for all people who are interested in learning about the Civil rights movement and Dr King. We enjoyed the park and its attractions. We also learned a few interesting little known facts by talking with the park rangers. Before leaving, we stopped by the tomb to pay or respects to the late Dr and Mrs King. My family will definitely be returning to the park to go on a guided tour to get the full experience.
