At every turn, rich Georgia history is revealed through the people and events that grew this colony into one of the great states in The United States. The roads you travel through Atlanta were worn from the Native Americans who first called this land home. The beautiful and serene green spaces once were the battlefields of a nation torn apart in civil war. From the many railroad tracks crossing the area to the skyscrapers lining Peachtree Street to the world's busiest airport, the story of two centuries of changing Atlanta, Georgia history unfolds. The spirit of Atlanta and the ideals of our people reflect those of the courageous and visionary leaders of our past and present.
