National Museum of Patriotism to Open in Downtown Atlanta

The National Museum of Patriotism, in conjunction with Legacy Property Group and Richard Bowers & Co., announce the finalization of the deal that will add the museum to the impressive roster of attractions already surrounding Centennial Olympic Park.

Downtown Atlanta and Luckie Marietta District’s access to millions of Atlanta visitors, business owners, locals, sports fans, conventioneers, concert and theatergoers made it a prime location for the new museum.

Slated to open fall 2008, The National Museum of Patriotism soon will occupy space at 275 Baker Street, a wonderful addition to Downtown’s and the Luckie Marietta District’s attractions, including the Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center, the NEW World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic Park and the Center for Civil and Human Rights.

As part of the museum’s programming, visitors to this interactive museum will experience such exhibits as: One America (a salute to the heroes of 9/11), The Symbols of America, The Immigrant Experience, The Hall of Patriots, The Founding Fathers, the Tuskegee Airmen among many others. The signature exhibit is the Hall of Patriots Exhibit featuring Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Congressional Gold Medal recipients, Carnegie Medal recipients and Medal of Freedom recipients.

“This exciting announcement further solidifies Downtown as the city’s most prominent place for attractions that entertain, educate and inspire. In this location, you can find a diversity of interests and attractions. The National Museum of Patriotism will be a great addition to this mix,” said A.J. Robinson, President of Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District.
