museum resides in a temporary location in Clayton County, Georgia where moving and expanding are expected in the near future.

author Margaret Mitchell. In 2003, the cemetery began a 5-year, $15 million restoration project.
Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site: Start at the visitor center and then work your way around the three main sites in this historic park:
the home in which the leader of the Civil Rights movement in America was born, the church where he preached and the memorial site where he is buried.
A major Atlanta attraction, the park draws some 500,000 visitors each year.
Atlanta History Center: The Atlanta History Museum is located at the Atlanta History Center. The Atlanta History Center also features the Swan House
mansion, Tullie Smith farm, the Margaret Mitchell House, the Centennial Olympic Games Museum, and five permanent exhibitions.

Fame, featuring Hank Aaron's record-breaking, 715th home run ball.
Atlanta Botanical Garden: Step into a world of magic and serenity at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, where new additions like the Fuqua Orchid Center
treat visitors to a rare collection of high-elevation orchids never before grown in the southeast.
The Georgia Aquarium: is the largest in the world with over 8 million gallons of water and more animals than any other Aquarium! Located in downtown
Atlanta, this Aquarium always has new and exciting events, animals and activities.It is the most spectatcular, kid-friendly exibit ever. From the
petting pools with sharks and rays to the central exibit featuring the whale sharks is breathtaking. Each exibit shows the time and care designers
took to make every feature seem real. The Mississippi River exibit was shown overhead so that the mud-bottomed Ole Miss didn't block your vision of
gars and really big catfish. Money well spent.
