A deeply moving National Park Service site encompassing Dr. King's birth home, Ebenezer Baptist Church where he preached, and his tomb alongside Coretta Scott King. The visitor center offers powerful exhibits on the Civil Rights Movement and King's life and legacy. Rangers lead free tours of the birth home — reserve a timed entry early as spots go fast. This is arguably Atlanta's most historically significant and emotionally resonant attraction.
