About this Event
Have you ever wondered about the history of an Atlanta building or landmark? Spend time at the Kenan Research Center learning about the resources available to research the history of a historic house. We will focus on one historic house and look at Sanborn Maps, Fulton County tax plats, building permits, newspaper clippings, neighborhood history, and photographs of the neighborhood. Through these resources discover the stories of a historic house and the people that previously inhabited both the land and the house. Join us for a tour through manuscripts, photographs, maps, newspapers, and books documenting the history of this ever-changing city. Tour guided by the Research Manager and Collections Manager.
- Tour is limited to 15 people. If the event is full, please sign up for the waiting list. You will be notified if a spot becomes available.
- We will be standing during the tour, so please wear comfortable shoes.
- Check in at Kenan Research Center, McElreath Hall, Atlanta History Center Buckhead, 10 minutes prior to tour time.
