The Chattahoochee Brick Company Memorial, Greenspace, and Park education series is a proposed plan for educating Atlantans about the history of the Chattahoochee Brick Company site—pre- and post-development. The framework identifies recommended themes and topics for discussion in a monthly lecture format. The education series is designed to inform residents about the site’s broad and complex history as well as to engage them in a process that will contribute to the site’s redevelopment and interpretation.
