Athens African-American History Trail

Athens African-American History Trail

Athens African-American History Trail is a self-guided driving tour of Athens African-American History, which begins on University of Georgia North Campus and travels through downtown Athens, and ends at Chestnut Grove School on Epps Bridge Road.

Most of the sites are within walking and biking distance from each other. Since some sites are spread throughout Athens, it’s best to drive to Hot Corner, the historic Reese and Hancock neighborhoods, and the Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery.
