Underground Atlanta
Reopened Victorian-era street level buried beneath the modern city, threaded with alleys and a railroad's founding stone marker.
This guide to Underground Atlanta traces the day in March 1929 when the city buried its own main street on purpose, raising the road on viaducts and turning storefronts into second-floor entrances. At its center once stood a granite marker driven into the ground in 1842, the point every mile on the Western and Atlantic Railroad was measured from. You'll hear how merchants adapted without tearing anything down, and how the buried district sat forgotten for decades before its 1969 rediscovery. Look for the replica marker under the viaduct, set on the original stone's exact spot.
