Join us to explore the Poncey-Highland area of Freedom Park, a hidden gem with a rich history. We’ll tell the story of the park’s creation, stories of people who lived here and think about the many people who helped turn this greenspace into a park for all.

Today Freedom Park stretches across 130 acres. Join us for a 90-minute walk to learn more about a quiet corner of the park. We will share stories from the 19th century and stories about the dedicated 20th century effort to preserve Atlanta’s intown neighborhoods.

To be ready for the tour, here are the important logistics:

Walking Shoes:

We are going to be doing a city walk, so please wear comfortable shoes. We will be walking less than a mile at a relaxed pace with time to stop and examine. We expect the tour to be 90-minutes. 

Weather:

Come prepared to be outdoors. We will evaluate the weather and announce a shift to the rain date 24 hours prior to our date, if needed.

Meeting point:

We will meet at the Peace Bell structure located at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum and Library. There is plenty of parking, just follow directions to the Carter Center and look for the cypress bell tower building, built in the style of Japanese temples. The structure is right next to the circular drive at the center of the Carter Center parking area.
