Just like Dr. King never led a march without a plan, you shouldn't visit Atlanta without a plan. With a little planning you can make your visit a dream come true. Use these pages to plan your dream visit.
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site was established in 1980 to preserve the places where Martin Luther King Jr. was born, lived, worked, worshipped, and is buried.
On Monday, January 8, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed H.R. 267, the “Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Act,” which redesignated the Martin Luther King, Junior, National Historic Site in the State of Georgia as the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park.
The Park is open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm except Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1. Check the park visitor center for schedules of King Birth Home Presentations, Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Talks, walking tours and more. Park Ranger led presentations of the Birth Home are offered daily, free of charge.
Birth Home Presentations are limited to 15 persons and fill quickly; on-site registration is required. Exhibit areas include the Children of Courage Discovery Center, Courage to Lead, and D.R.E.A.M. Gallery. Films about Dr. King and the civil rights movement are shown throughout the day. The Sweet Aunburn preservation district surrounds the national historical park.
