Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr

Great experience but we could not go in as someone recently try to vandalize it! I was transported back in time stepping into this neighborhood. They are now renovating it for the next 2 years! You can see it from out side but it’s fenced in

It was amazing to see the birthplace of such a great leader l, like MLK. It was a surreal experience, because it doesn’t quite hit you until you’re there. This is the person we grew up lessening about, who took a stand for the rights of black people. I was pretty amazed at how well kept the house still looked; they didn’t change anything from its original creation. If you are in the Atlanta area, I strongly recommend going to take a look.

It was very cool to be able to see MLK's birth place and home. The house is being restored so we could not enter but only saw the outside. Next door there is a gift shop where you can purchase many different MLK inspired items.

Knowing history is essential to understanding the present.

I took my daughter on vacation to Atlanta and there was lots of fun but also learning. among them the picturesque historic house where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was born. This venerable defender of today's civil rights.

Actually is close for renovation until November 2025 but next to it have another house full of history and is free.

This place!!! I will never forget this experience of going to the birth home of MLK. I went on a quiet weekday, I expected it to be so much more busy than what it was, so it was nice to just be able to enter the house shortly after arriving in the morning. The tour guide was so knowledgeable, and in addition was great at storytelling and despite him being blind he perfectly and accurately described everything which was so fascinating. Sadly, no pictures or videos were allowed to be taken inside the home, but I got some shots of outside. Recommended thing to do whilst in Atlanta.

Although we were not able to secure an indoor tour of the house, we were delighted to be able to view the exterior, take pictures, and learn about the home life of MLK from the signage near the property. It is worth the visit.

The whole block was amazing and full of history. To walk that street had me lost for words. Just incredible.

Nice tour of Martin Luther Kings childhood house. Well restored with original and period pieces. Tours are free and well done. Interesting back stories of the rooms and the King family. The entire block has been place under historic protection to preserve the feel of the neighborhood and the different styles of houses. No photos allowed inside but there is a nice gift store. Parking can be a challenge.

We visited after hours, so unfortunately I wasn't able to see the inside. What I can share is the feeling you get walking down Auburn. You feel the souls of those that once walked this street. It's so much history. I love how they have restored/maintained this area. When you visit the ATL, I highly recommend you visit this section. So much history here that I am sure you don't know.

It's the birth home of one of the most iconic people in history, how it is not more awesome than that?! We didn't book any tour for it, but it is free to come up to the outside of the house.

There's a cute little shop right next door, so make sure to check it out. We almost missed it because it looks like someone's house instead.

This is the birth home of Martin Luther King Jnr, it’s a stone away from iconic Ebenezer Baptist Church which a significant part of his further life, preaching alongside his father.
There is a free tour of the house which is booked at the National Park visitor centre, tickets are available each morning, but you have to be early to secure a ticket.
I had a tour of the house, what is apparent it is a house of humbleness and a house of joy as he grew up with his brother and sister, parents and grandparents.
It has been refurbished to reflect how the house was originally and is a pleasant place to visit to see where he began his life journey

The tour was amazing. The ranger guide provided little known facts that are meaningful, historical, and insightful into the origins of the King family and the surrounding community.

What an amazing place! I loved seeing the house and feeling the history here. We learned so much about his life while visiting his house.

Great history museum is free to enter. Make sure you check tour times. Store is great a lot of items and books for sale. We'll preserved home and area. Definitely go if you are in Atlanta. We also visited the centers down the street.

Love educating PAX high school foreign exchange students to MLK in real detail. Birth place house & church tour offered what school text books don't!

Entire neighborhood was a phenomenal display of historical preservation, only downside was touring of the home is temporarily closed to the public due to repairs being made due to recent vandalism of the property .

Please go visit this historic place. I didn't realize you pretty much have to get there as soon as they open to actually tour the house so we missed the inside. Thankfully we still managed to see the outside and learn a little bit from one of the park rangers on duty that no history book will teach you.
To tour the inside of the house you have to visit the King Center and sign up. Be there when they open otherwise slim chance you will see the inside that day. It is first come, first serve basis and you have to sign up in person. The wait time I would imagine on what time you get there as they do multiple tours a day.

Saturdays 10-12 guided touring inside! It was very interesting, I really enjoyed seeing Dr. King’s home and how he lived!

It's awesome to be @ this Historic Birthplace...If it weren't for the late MLK, JR.
I wouldn't be in a position of Greatness today!

If you happen to be in Atlanta, this is the place you want to visit.
You can visit the community centre and gain a whole lot of information that you may not know.
And just down the street you can visit Martin Luther King’s birth home.
This was the highlight of my visit to the charming city of Atlanta. We visited the Coca Cola museum and the millennium park amongst other landmarks, but nothing came close to the experience of visiting this historic and impactful place.
Also, when you visit MLKs birthplace home, surrounded by other detached wood built homes in the center of this vertical city, you get a real feeling of the neighborhood.
