Capturing the Spirit of Oakland - 2008
Join us this year and hear first-hand about our city's past, narrated by a host of Oakland's "residents" including the Atlanta golfing legend himself, Bobby Jones. You'll also see gorgeous mausoleums and hear tales "told" by some of Atlanta's early African American, Jewish and Civil War leaders.
Don't forget your flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes for this one-of-a-kind, guided walking tour ... and, of course, feel free to wear a costume! After all, it is Halloween.
Limited free parking is available near the main entrance and on neighboring streets. Carpooling or taking MARTA to the King Memorial Station is highly recommended. Parking is also available at Underground Atlanta for $3 per vehicle, plus $1 per person round trip for a seat on the Atlanta Trolley Tour Line Shuttle to and from Oakland's main gate. Please allow ample travel time if taking the shuttle.
Please visit Oakland Cemetery's website for all the information on the event and on the cemetery. http://oaklandcemetery.com/
