Established in 1871 to house children orphaned by the Civil War, the Methodist Orphans' Home, which it was orginally named, moved from Norcross to Decatur in 1873.  The tour will include a visit to the historic Moore Chapel and Atlanta cottage that once served as a home to many orphans over the years.

RSVP is required.
