Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park

Walk Auburn Avenue with a ranger-led tour through King's birth home, Ebenezer Baptist Church, and his tomb — the most meaningful few hours in Atlanta.

What to expect

You'll gather with a National Park Service ranger for a 30-minute walk through King's childhood home, then continue independently to Ebenezer Baptist Church where he preached and the reflecting pool where he and Coretta Scott King are entombed. The Auburn Avenue corridor around it is Atlanta's historic Black business district, still lived-in and unpolished. Budget at least 2.5 hours to do it without rushing.

Good to know

Birth Home tours release same-day tickets at 9am at the visitor center — arrive early. It's a 15-minute drive from downtown; allow return transit time before all-aboard.
