I did not get a chance to go into the home I got there after 5:00 p.m. a week day so I just looked around took some pictures I was just appreciative to see the home where he lived and the church he attended.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi We are planning a road trip to visit it and we have a couple of doubts about it: Will it be open on December 24th at the regular times? Could we book a tour in advance or we have to do it the same day? Thank you! I

Sergio Fernández Tomeo | Oct 30, 2019
Donna Hawkins | Oct 30, 2019

Don't know if it's open Xmas eve but pretty sure you have to book tour same day. Just go to visitors center a block from his birth home and across the street from Ebenezer Baptist church. Have your name put on the tour list and they will give you a tour time. Your group will be given a ticket and you all go to the gift shop nect door to his home where a ranger will meet you and conduct the tour. You can't take photos inside the home.

Kathy Waite | Oct 30, 2019

If your asking why it's not open it's because there was a partial government shut down. And they can not open it because they would need the park rangers to opporatie the facility.
