DaveApril 22, 2013This is a must-see for anyone in the Atlanta area. It's humbling and inspiring. And reminds me that he's still dreaming "the dream"
Paula MadeiraDecember 30, 2017They have guided tours to the inside, just check what time. You can’t photograph and once you are in it takes about 5-10 minutes to see it all.
Cowboy JoeAugust 18, 2019Sign up in the Visitor Center as soon as you arrive for tickets for the walking tour. It's free, but they go quickly.
Tiffany JunielDecember 22, 2015The museum was awesome. We also went to the fire house he used to play at and got a tour by a retired fireman who was one of the first black firemen at that station. That was awesome!
- DivahJanuary 19, 2013Lots of history to see about a great man and woman(Coretta Scott King). Get there when they open @9am on MLK weekend because tours of the birth home will go quickly!!!
- Chanel HutchinsonNovember 17, 2013Just driving by Dr. Martin Luther King's birth house is a humbling experience. I can only picture him being born in the upstairs bedroom. The House is still in tact and that's awesome.
Oakland CemeteryMay 28, 2011At approximately noon on Jan 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr was born in an upstairs bedroom at this home and lived here until he was 12 years old. Visit the King Center to schedule a Ranger led tour.
