The Atlanta Preservation Center's month-long deep dive into Atlanta's historic mansions, hidden secrets, and a bordello or two kicks off on March 2. Book your tickets now.
Why it matters: The preservation nonprofit's annual Phoenix Flies events series offers up-close and behind-the-scenes studies of historic neighborhoods and places that have stood firm against the wrecking ball.
Registration opens Friday. Act quick because slots fill up fast.
Zoom in: Popular walking tours exploring Atlanta's old red-light district — titled Historic Harlots of Old Atlanta — and important Civil War locations around Downtown will give you a new perspective on the city.
Other events include a how-to on researching a home's history, a talk about soccer's history in Atlanta (dating back to the 1890s!) and a self-guided walking tour of the city's role in the Chitlin' Circuit.
