Atlanta History Center produces a rich array of interactive, dynamic programs and exhibitions. Community Days, such as Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, activate our entire 33-acre campus with museum theatre performances, educational simulations, guest lectures, historical crafting demonstrations, and opportunities for children and adults to experience history firsthand, while also including digital and virtual components. Atlanta History Center also hosts a Fulton County University of Georgia 4-H Extension Office and the StoryCorps Atlanta recording studio through onsite partnerships, which allows those institutions to further their complementary missions and increase awareness of Atlanta History Center and our mission Our school tours take schoolchildren through interactive experiences to help them learn about civil rights, the Civil War, Native Americans, and Georgia farm life, while school outreach programs and Travel Trunks take history out into the classroom through presentations and activities. School programs are also offered virtually. School programming served over 28,000 children this year. Toddler programs, summer camps, and Homeschool Days bring engaging, interactive fun to learning about history. For adults, Author Talks bring engaging speakers to Atlanta, virtually and in person.
