Walking Tour of Homes

Walking tour of Peachtree Heights East homes

The Atlanta Preservation Center is collaborating with Buckhead Heritage for a family-friendly walking tour of the Peachtree Heights East neighborhood. The tour, which is scheduled Saturday, July 2, at 10 a.m., is free for Buckhead Heritage members. Contact Richard Waterhouse at 404.467.9447 to reserve your spot. If you are not a Buckhead Heritage member, you can schedule the tour at www.atlantapreservationcenter.com.

Discover former residents -- including movie star Susan Hayward; Helen Douglas Mankin, the first woman from Georgia elected to the House of Representatives; and Hamilton Douglas Jr., a distinguished attorney who also established the first Boy Scout Troop in Atlanta -- who quietly shaped Atlanta and beyond.
