Historic Athens One Story Heritage Walk: Buena Vista with Kristen Morales

Description

Learn about the portion of the Boulevard neighborhood “outside the city” on this tour with Kristen Morales. Originally developed in the 1920s, the area was designed as a residential community for middle-class families. Its name, which means "good view" in Spanish, reflects the neighborhood’s attractive landscape and elevated terrain. Tourgoers will learn about the city stockade, life working in Southern Mill, and different forms of early architecture. The blend of history, community engagement, and architectural beauty continues to define Buena Vista as a treasured part of Athens.
