While advances in medicine were made\, like the discovery of germ theory and anesthesia\, doctors also used quack cures. All this led to illness\, injury\, death\, and a rise in the number of Oakland residents. \nAbout your Tour\nNightfall tours begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Bell Tower located inside Oakland Cemetery. Check-in begins 30 minutes prior to the tour time. Your tour includes a complimentary wine or beer. The bar opens when check-in begins and closes at tour time. \nParking\nPaid parking is available in the Oakland lot at 342 MLK Dr. Free street parking may be available nearby. MARTA’s King Memorial station is a five minute walk to Oakland. \nAccessibility\nNot all areas of Historic Oakland Cemetery are wheelchair accessible.
