The Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr is a historic house museum located in Atlanta, Georgia. This modest two-story home was where Martin Luther King, Jr was born on January 15, 1929. It was here that his early life and childhood were shaped by his family's values and experiences.
The home features period furnishings and decor, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of King's parents, Martin Luther King Sr and Alberta Williams King. The house also contains exhibits related to King's father, who was a prominent Baptist minister in Atlanta.
Visitors can explore the first floor parlor and dining room, which have been restored to their original appearance from the 1920s. The second floor features bedrooms where the King family lived, including Martin Luther King Jr's birthplace.
The home is now part of the National Park Service and offers guided tours, providing insight into the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
