Civil War & Civil Rights Tour
The tour begins with hotel pickup in Atlanta. Board a comfortable bus and follow the significant sites of the Civil War in the city, an important battlefield during the war.
First, visit Cabbagetown, a preserved residential neighborhood notable for its 19th-century architecture and recognized in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places due to its significance to the cotton industry.

The tour continues at Oakland Cemetery, the resting place of soldiers and notable figures including the founder of the Masters Golf Tournament and Margaret Mitchell.
Learn about Atlanta's Civil Rights history, visiting the home of Martin Luther King Jr., the church he attended, and his grave, with insights into the movement he led.
