Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park

Part of the National Park Service, Martin Luther King, Jr National Historical Park is comprised of several buildings and we stretched our visit over two days.

Ebenezer Heritage Sanctuary, also known as Ebenezer Baptist Church, is where Martin Luther King Jr was baptized, became a co-pastor and where his funeral was held. The Ebenezer Baptist Church has a new location across the street and they own and operate both locations. Our guide told us that MLK sister recently attended a service here for her 95th birthday. This church had major restoration in 2002. 

1895 two-story frame Queen Anne style house.

We took a tour of his birth home, led by the National Park Service. We learned much about this accomplished family. Many of the homes in the area are being restored and preserved which is nice.

This eternal flame made me think of JFK final resting place.
