Friday May 17, 2019
Friday May 17, 2019
This week, we're focusing on five downtown Atlanta churches - how they came to be, when were they built and what stories they hold. Learn about Father's O'Reilly's act of heroism, how you can hear a 169 year-old bell ring, the church of Mayor Andrew Young and why dancing almost got someone ex-communicated.

This week, I am sharing the history of Chattahoochee Brick and the English Family.

The Cascade Mansion (1860) and the Willis House (1840) are both owned by Lt. Colonel Perry Bennett, who can make a war-history-lover out of anyone. This week, I am sharing the information I learned on my tours of the two homes and the incredible history that they both hold.
