Best History Museum in Kennesaw

"This historic site includes several buildings, including the boyhood home of this civil rights leader, as well as the church where his father, and later King himself first came to preach. The firehouse that was once a main community center in the sixties, a civil rights walk of fame, and the “I Have a Dream” international world peace rose garden are also a part of this historic park. Opposite the visitor center, a large mural depicts scenes in Dr. Martin Luther King’s life."

"Learn about civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at this 35-acre complex that includes an interactive visitor’s center (look for the Junior Ranger activity books), the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was a pastor, his gravesite, and even his birth home a few blocks away."

"Atlanta History Center displays its clients with historic houses within their 33 acres of curated Goizueta gardens. Next, they have a professional staff that guides their clients throughout their museum and caters to registration concerns. In addition, they have been curating their gardens since 1990, making this art center one of the community’s pioneers of quality garden artworks."

"Located in Buckhead, the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center is an elegant, classically styled mansion built in 1928. If you’re looking for photos straight out of your favorite fairy tale then this is the location for you. The beautifully restored historic house offers pure old Southern charm with elegant staircases, a majestic lawn, gardens, fountains and stunning views."

"While Virginia has produced more US presidents than any other state, Georgia is home to just one (so far), Jimmy Carter. History lovers wanting to learn more about the life of POTUS 39 will enjoy the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library & Museum. When he left office in January 1981, President Carter was only 56 years old."

"441 John Lewis Freedom Parkway, NEAtlanta, GA 30307-1498(404) 865-7100. Opened in 1986, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library houses the most notable stories about the life of Jimmy Carter."

"Just north of the Atlanta Arts District, The Breman Museum shares the history, culture, and art of Jewish Americans. One permanent exhibit, Absence of Humanity, details the events that led to the Holocaust, the unspeakable atrocities that resulted in the deaths of millions of European Jews, and the voices of Altlanta-area survivors. The Breman Museum also includes special exhibits and history talks that dive into topics like antisemitism in Atlanta, the history of Rich’s Department Store, and more."

"Set right in the heart of the city, this facility offers a beautiful insight into world history from an African-American’s perspective. You and your kiddos will love the displays on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, Africa as well as the history of the city’s neighborhoods. Teenagers 15 years and above are more likely to enjoy this experience than the younger ones."

"There are some incredible stories and exhibits on offer at the APEX. This Sweet Auburn gem is a museum of history presented from the black perspective. Established in 1978, there’s a lot of history that goes beyond its opening that’s packed in this small, but super important museum."

"Lastly, consider The King Center, a nonprofit with photos and artifacts of MLK, or the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum, a public museum and research institution focused on preserving the history of paper technology. Atlanta Skyline, Author: Georgia National Guard, Source: Flickr"

"This research institution and public museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of paper and paper technology. Although the space it’s small, you’ll leave more fascinated with paper than you thought was possible."

"This triumphal arch celebrates Georgia's history, legendary families and peaceful accomplishments with a 12,000-square-foot gallery and several period rooms. Open M-Sa 10 am-5 pm."

"Among Atlanta’s top Black history sites is the Madam C.J. Walker Museum, which honors the life and accomplishments of Madam C.J. Walker, a laundress who became the first self-made Black female millionaire. She started her own cosmetics and hair care company, selling her own products door-to-door, through the mail and at her franchised beauty shops for African American women. If you want to know more about Madam Walker, watch the Netflix series, “Self-Made” staring Octavia Spencer."

"Just the sound of the honey makes us want to have boba tea right now. Here in Honey bubble you will find yourself confused about which milk tea you would like to order. Trust me you might want to order all of it because each flavor will not disappoint."

"Out to the east, not much further than Radio Roasters, really, is the town of Clarkston, sometimes referred to as "the Ellis Island of the South." Kitti and Bill Murray's bootstrapped operation serves more than just coffee; they are providing job training, employment and a focal point for the local (and rather sizeable) refugee community. The whole operation runs out of a disused mid-century gas station, and the coffee still comes from a truck parked out front, and you sit underneath the awning, where the gas pumps used to be (or inside if you like), and while it is certainly not the trendiest spot to sit around and people watch in Atlanta right now, it is absolutely one of the best. (The coffee is very good, too.)"

"Refuge Coffee, in Clarkston, is part darn-good coffee purveyor, part mission-driven community project. The nonprofit started serving out of a 1983 Chevy van and has since graduated to a full-size cafe in a former garage; today the truck still serves as the service counter and houses all the coffee-making supplies. Refuge sources its beans from Savannah, Georgia-based roaster Perc Coffee, and all of the drinks are solid and tasty."

"Refuge Coffee, located just east of the perimeter in the small city of Clarkston, is community-minded and purpose-driven. While great coffee drinks are always on the menu here, this coffee shop’s mission is to provide a safe space for the city’s large refugee community, along with jobs and job training. Coffee is served from one of the shop’s trucks parked outside a 1960s service station."

"Café Vendôme in Sandy Springs is a French pastry lover’s wonderland. The beautiful desserts are classic and crafted on-site at their bakery. Try the eclair filled with either vanilla or chocolate and one of the fruity tartelettes."

"Birthday Cakes don’t have to be layer cake, for a little something different try a beautifully decorated Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. They come in a variety of sizes from tiny to massive but for a birthday party of up to 20 guests the 10 inch Bundt cake is perfect. For a larger party get an 8 inch Bundt cake stacked on top of a 10 inch Bundt cake to serve up to 30 guests www.nothingbundtcakes.com"
