About the Event
Legacy Stroll - Stories of Freedom Park, hosted by History Afoot Atlanta and presented by Freedom Park Conservancy, as part of the Atlanta Preservation Center's Phoenix Flies 2026: Atlanta's Historic Sites
Meet at the Peace Bell Tower, built in the style of a Japanese temple, located near the central circular drive of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum and Library. Free Parking
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 from the 19th century and stories about the dedicated 20th century effort to preserve Atlanta's intown neighborhoods. The path is paved and flat, and is about 1.5 miles, so the tour will last approximately 90 minutes.
