Nightfall Chronicles: 50 Ways to Die
August 22, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Nightfall Chronicles is a sunset tour series featuring some of Oakland’s most popular walking tours. Join us August 22 at 7:30 p.m. for 50 Ways to Die.
About the Tour
Early Atlanta was not a sleepy southern community – it had more in common with the Wild West. Life in this railroad town often ended in violence or tragedy. Diseases spread rapidly thanks to Atlanta’s humid climate and swampy land. While advances in medicine were made, like the discovery of germ theory and anesthesia, doctors also used quack cures. All this led to illness, injury, death, and a rise in the number of Oakland residents.
