Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park honors American Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King Jr., established as a unit of the National Park Service in 1980 to preserve several Atlanta sites related to King's life and legacy.
Attractions within the site include King's boyhood home, which may be explored as part of limited-availability free guided tours, and the preserved Ebenezer Baptist Church, where both King and his father served as pastors. A visitor center at the site offers free exhibits and video programs on King's work and the Civil Rights Movement, with more free civil rights exhibits and public special event programming offered at nearby Freedom Hall.
Outdoor attractions include the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, which honors prominent historical social justice figures. Though parking at the site is only free to group tour buses, the site is easily accessible via MARTA public transit from the nearby King Memorial Transit Station and King Historic District subway stop.
