This is a must-see for anyone in the Atlanta area. It's humbling and inspiring. And reminds me that he's still dreaming "the dream"
They have guided tours to the inside, just check what time. You can’t photograph and once you are in it takes about 5-10 minutes to see it all.
The museum was awesome. We also went to the fire house he used to play at and got a tour by a retired fireman who was one of the first black firemen at that station. That was awesome!
Sign up in the Visitor Center as soon as you arrive for tickets for the walking tour . It's free, but they go quickly.
Just driving by Dr. Martin Luther King's birth house is a humbling experience. I can only picture him being born in the upstairs bedroom. The House is still in tact and that's awesome.
Lots of history to see about a great man and woman(Coretta Scott King). Get there when they open @9am on MLK weekend because tours of the birth home will go quickly!!!
