About this Event

The Atlanta Preservation Center is collaborating with Buckhead Heritage for a family-friendly walking tour of the graceful Peachtree Heights East neighborhood, led by Buckhead Heritage.

Discover former residents -- including movie star Susan Hayward; Helen Douglas Mankin, the first female U.S. Congresswoman; and Hamilton Douglas, Jr., a distinguished attorney who also established the first Boy Scout Troop in Atlanta -- who quietly shaped Atlanta and beyond.

The unique neighborhood, begun in 1909 by Eretus E. (“Petie”) Rivers, includes approximately 330 homes. Its house styles range from early 20th century American two story four-square, Craftsman Bungalow, Cape Cod, Tudor to Ranch and 21st century home styles. The tour includes a stop at the neighborhood’s beloved duck pond, which resides on 7.5 acres of green space and is home to more than 40 species of birds.


If you are a Buckhead Heritage member, please contact Buckhead Heritage at 404-467-9447 or [email protected] for your reservation and/or membership inquiries.
