06.14 - Intown Touring Club Industrial Heritage Exploration

Location

Here's a unique opportunity to get a better understanding of how Atlanta came to be the city it is today. This ride, sponsored by the Intown Touring Club, will begin at Oakland Cemetery and do a counter-clockwise loop of downtown. Dr. Cliff Kuhn, a Georgia State professor whose specialty is Atlanta history, particularly that of its industry and workers, will be along as a guide to comment on the sites that document Atlanta's transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy.

The cemetery is just south of the King Memorial MARTA station. Because of the summer heat, the ride itself won't run very long and will be capped off with a get together over cold and refreshing drinks.
