The Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site in Atlanta, Georgia is a great place to visit. It spans several blocks on Auburn Avenue. The site includes several buildings that were important in the life of Dr. King. The Prince Hall Masonic Building was the first home of the Southern Christian Leadership Center which Dr. King worked with. The Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church can be toured on your own and there are informational tours also. The King Birth Home can be toured also.It has been restored to the time of Dr. King's childhood circa 1930- 1940s. The National Park Service visitor Center has wonderful exhibits. One can also sign up for tours at the visitor center. Freedom Hall is located next to the eternal flame and Dr. And Mrs. Kong's Tomb. It houses exhibits on Rosa Parks, Dr. King and Ghandi. There is also a gift shop. When we visited it was the weekend of the 50th anniversary of his death and the events were being broadcast outside at the King Center. There is some parking that is free.
