Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta, Georgia, spans 35 acres (0.14 km2) and includes various locations associated with civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work. Within the park, King's boyhood home, Ebenezer Baptist Church — where he was baptized and where both he and his father, Martin Luther King Sr., served as pastors — as well as the grave sites of King, Jr., and his wife, civil rights icon Coretta Scott King, are all located.

The National Park Service manages the park, which includes a visitor center and a museum. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthplace and grave are both located at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta. You may view the house where Dr. King was born, which is part of a renovated block of modest homes, during a self-guided tour of this two-block neighborhood.

The Ebenezer Baptist Church is also located here, and a docent gives a detailed overview of the church's involvement in the neighborhood. Exhibits are available at the Freedom Hall Complex, and volunteers at Fire Station No. 6 discuss the station's role in the community.

Address: 400 & 500 blocks of Auburn Avenue, NE, Atlanta, Georgia
