Dexter Parsonage Museum
Dexter Parsonage Museum
The restored Parsonage of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church appears as it did when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family resided here during Dr. King’s pastorate from 1954-1960.
The parsonage was bombed several times during the fight for civil rights, but fortunately no one was injured.
The Parsonage (known as the Dexter Parsonage Museum) was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
