History of Morningside: MLPA Walking Tour
Saturday, July 18
10:00 to 11:30 a.m
Begin/End at Morningside Farmers' Market (1411 N Morningside Dr)
Pam and Jim Auchmutey have graciously agreed to lead upcoming Neighborhood History Walks for neighbors! The pair has mapped out a “highlights” route featuring some of the neighborhood’s most interesting historic sites, designed to last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
The tour will begin and end at the information booth of the Morningside Farmers’ Market, located at 1411 N. Morningside Drive, where ample surface and street parking is available.
Pam and Jim are longtime volunteers and tour guides at The Wren’s Nest in Atlanta’s West End. Jim, a former reporter for the AJC, has a longtime passion for reading and writing about history.
Along the route, participants will learn not only about the history of Morningside and Virginia-Highland, but also about the important events, preservation efforts, and historic markers that help tell the story of Atlanta’s growth and transformation through the decades.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes. These events have a capacity of 20 to ensure a great experience for all.
