This 130-Year-Old Atlanta Landmark is Looking Good as New
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression," as the saying goes. For many visitors, Oakland Cemetery's iconic red-brick gate is their first glimpse of our 48-acre historic site.
To make sure that first impression is as striking as the rest of the grounds, we launched a fundraising campaign beginning in 2025 and embarked on a full-scale restoration of this beloved Atlanta landmark.
