The organization compiled photos from various public institutions to create the “Buckhead: Our Story” exhibit, which will be displayed on Friday night. The exhibit traces the community’s history from its beginnings as a crossroads community in 1838 to its post-WWII growth and annexation by the city of Atlanta in 1952.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Buckhead Heritage and the creation of a Master History Plan for the community that will map out how to integrate historic sites and stories into the Buckhead Collection—a system of new parks, trails, and green spaces envisioned for the community and spearheaded by Livable Buckhead, Inc.
