A month-long celebration of Atlanta's historic mansions, stunning buildings, and a historic bordello or two kicks off on March 2. Book your tickets now.

Why it matters: The Atlanta Preservation Center announced its Phoenix Flies schedule of events offering up-close and behind-the-scenes tours of historic places frozen in time or long forgotten.

And some of the most fascinating events book up fast.

Details: The popular Historic Harlots of Old Atlanta tour returns, and other tours include studies of the Old Fourth Ward's architecture and the Fox Theatre.

Guides will also teach people about Standing Peachtree, a former Muscogee village that was a trading center along the Chattahoochee River.
