Sights, Symbols, and Stories General Tour

April 13 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Discover the history, the Victorian gardens, and the art and architecture that give Oakland its distinctive character. Oakland is an outdoor museum of Atlanta’s history with over 70,000 residents. Meet the trailblazers, builders, creators, and characters who call Oakland home. Join one of our knowledgeable and entertaining guides for a 90-minute walking tour through Atlanta’s past and present.

Parking is limited. Marta (King Memorial station is three blocks north of the gate) and rideshare are encouraged.
