Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in downtown Atlanta, GA

We spent the day on November 2 visiting the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, including a tour of his old neighborhood, his church and his childhood home. The NPS site here includes the surrounding neighborhood, including buildings that have been maintained in the period during which MLK lived here. The homes are rented to people to live in with the stipulation that they cannot add or detract from the period architecture of the structures.

This is a cedar chest that belonged to my great aunt who was born in 1907. A chest just like this one is located at the foot of the bed in the bedroom where MLK was born.

  1. Wow, fantastic travels. Thanks for sharing. So funny Lisa has the exact same chest, Kurt and I bought in the early 80’s. I guess it was popular.
