The full story
A group of Sweet Auburn places connected to King's childhood, ministry and legacy. The Birth Home and historic Ebenezer Baptist Church make his life in Atlanta tangible beyond a museum display.
The park connects places where Martin Luther King Jr. was born, lived, worshipped and is buried. Seeing the Birth Home and historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in their Auburn Avenue setting helps place the civil rights leader within the neighborhood that shaped him.
- The Birth Home locates King's childhood on Auburn Avenue.
- Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church connects the site to King's ministry.
- Fire Station No. 6 is part of the neighborhood's civic history.
Begin at the temporary visitor center in Historic Fire Station No. 6.
If the Birth Home is a priority, ask about the same-day presentation on arrival.
Allow time to move between the separate historic buildings.
