Restoration

Buckhead has grown a good bit since it was comprised of a few dirt roads that led to Irby's Tavern. Over time, as in all communities, many of Buckhead's historic resources have either been lost or have fallen into disrepair. Buckhead Heritage strives to restore select significant structures, landscapes, and artifacts to secure them for the future.

Recent Work

Thanks to contributions from its members and corporate supporters in the past year, Buckhead Heritage was able to complete important projects that further its mission to sustain the quality of life in Buckhead by identifying, preserving, and promoting the community's historic resources. Here are just a few highlights of the organization's recent work:

In 2011, Buckhead Heritage served on the steering committee for the Buckhead Greenspace Action Plan, which created an innovative vision for an interconnected network of parks, trails, and greenspaces in Buckhead that will interweave opportunities for history, art, and environmental protection into a meaningful system that enhances the quality of life in the community. Last year, Buckhead Heritage completed a historic resources survey to serve as a foundation for project planning for this system.

Buckhead Heritage continues to add educational content to the website so visitors can learn about Buckhead's history, historic buildings, and historical markers. Start exploring this resource now!
