Atlanta is a city composed of many historically relevant events and destinations, but few resonate as powerfully as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic Park. A sweeping testament to this great leader's life and childhood, this is one park that every Atlanta-area apartment resident will surely want to explore.

Centered around the birth home of Martin Luther King, Jr., this educationally rich park is a living testament to a time

gone by, but certainly not forgotten. Park rangers lead guided tours through the home numerous times every day, including the upstairs bedroom where MLK was born, and the adjoining Peace Plaza collects a number of truly grand tributes to the famous pacifist's memory. Take time for quiet reflection as you stroll among the stunning color explosion of the International World Peace Rose Garden, or get a close-up view of the 'Behold' sculpture, created by a local artist in honor of Mr. King.

Located a short stroll away is the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where MLK first began honing his truly admirable speaking skills, and Atlanta apartment residents with youngsters will certainly want to take in the "Children of Courage" exhibit. Aimed at educating today's youth about the children of the Civil Rights Movement, the engaging and informative display is sure to capture the attention of both young and old alike. Combining historical importance with both somber remembrance and soulful joy, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic Park is a 'must-see' stop for any Atlanta apartment resident.
