In-person
This Jane’s Walk, taking place in Piedmont Park, focuses on themes of history and culture.
Join a docent from Piedmont Park for an introduction to the park’s vibrant past and present!
You’ll discover how Piedmont Park’s rich history is undeniably intertwined with the development of Atlanta, and together, we’ll explore the fascinating historical and physical evolution of iconic park and its journey from forest to farm, to fairgrounds for the Piedmont Exposition of 1887 and the Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895. Now, it’s Atlanta’s premier urban green space!
