About This Tour

A private tour with private transportation, covering real Atlanta history from the Civil War era through the Civil Rights Movement. This is a private tour with private transportation included. Real stops include the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, the Battle of Atlanta site, and Oakland Cemetery, spanning the Civil War era through the Civil Rights Movement.

The Battle of Atlanta was fought on July 22, 1864, when Confederate General John Bell Hood attacked William T. Sherman's Union forces east of the city; Sherman's side prevailed after a day of fighting that produced about 12,000 casualties by most accounts. Hood watched part of the action from a house next to what is now Oakland Cemetery.

Oakland Cemetery was founded in 1850 as Atlanta Cemetery and renamed in 1872; its original six acres are among the oldest surviving land in the city, most of which burned in 1864. Atlanta's later chapter is told at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, established by Congress on October 10, 1980, which includes King's boyhood home, Ebenezer Baptist Church and the tombs of King and Coretta Scott King. The tour joins the two eras on one route.
