Martin Luther King Jr.’s Childhood Home Is Right Here In Georgia And You Can Visit
After being closed to the public for months, the childhood home of Martin Luther King Jr. will be partially reopened to visitors just in time for his birthday and national holiday on January 16.
Incredibly, the home receives an average of 20,000 visitors in the four-hour period it is open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On January 16, the first floor of the home will be open to guests. After the holiday, visitors will be able to take a 30-minute guided tour of the property.
The home and church are just two parts of a larger National Park Services historic site that also includes King’s gravesite, the historic Fire Station No. 6 and a visitor center.
