SUMMARY:Nightfall Chronicles: 50 Ways to Die
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nNightfall Chronicles is a sunset tour series featuring Oakland’s popular walking tours.\n\n\nEarly Atlanta was not a sleepy southern community. it had more in common with the Wild West. Life in this railroad town often ended in violence or tragedy. Diseases spread rapidly thanks to Atlanta’s humid climate and swampy land. 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. Please let us know if you need an accessible route when purchasing your ticket. \nASL interpreter available if given 3 days (72 hours) notice before the start of the tour. \nPlease email Makeda Phillips to request an ASL interpreter or accessible route. mphillips@oaklandcemetery.com \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]Click below and select your Nightfall Chronicles date under the “When would you like to visit us” tab. \nIf you’re a member\, enter the email you used to join and you’ll automatically receive your discount.
