The Tet Offensive in Vietnam takes the battle from the jungle to the cities, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life is cut tragically short, Apollo 8 begins the first U.S. mission to orbit the moon, the Summer Olympics are held in Mexico City, Boeing’s 747 has its maiden voyage, and the first Big Mac is sold.
History comes to life as Atlanta History Center summer campers explore the past through games, historic simulations, performances, crafts, and hands-on activities throughout our exhibitions, historic houses, and gardens.
The entire 33-acre campus is our playground!
With fun new themes each week, campers enjoy a variety of immersive camp experiences all summer long.
Space is limited, so register early.
