Martin Luther King Jr.'s childhood home, historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and the visitor center at MLK National Historic Site in Atlanta are closed amid the federal government shutdown.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports a smattering of people wandered the park's grounds during the closures Saturday. Freedom Hall, which is privately owned, remained open for visitors to take in exhibits about King, Rosa Parks and Gandhi, but employees said attendance had dropped dramatically for a Saturday.
Still, some were trying to make the best of what was their first visit to the historic site.
Aric Dupre, who traveled from Cincinnati for a weekend vacation with his wife, Kat, said they were disappointed. He says they have other plans, but their morning was shot.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta remained open Saturday. People were spotted jogging and climbing the mountain.

His legal name never was Martin Luther King, Jr.; it was Mike King.
He plagiarized most of his PhD thesis; Dr. King..? Yeah, whatever.
He plagiarized major portions of his first book, Striding Towards Freedom.
Most of his speeches were written for him by a communist car dealer, a man the FBI was hugely afraid of and interested in.
Was his cause just? Was he hugely charismatic? Of course.
He also liked to sleep with and then beat-up women on a very regular basis.
If Trump were anything like the petulant child Obama, he would have the whole place barricaded off but then allow Sons of the Confederacy to hold a rally
Michael Medved in mourning.
Thus proving Schumer and Pelosi and Durbin are clearly racists!!!
But the Je$$e Jack$on'$ of his group...didn't want to go that path.
They saw $$$$ and went that way....
Just wondering....
Yeah, I wonder if the rouge elements in government have increased security at the WWII memorials to keep people out yet.
Trump is a racist.
Too bad.

So was the Nixon Library. A concert there I got an invite to was cancelled due to it.
Yes sir.
Hello from Corona, CA
Well, he was good enough for Coretta!
The American people could not accept the truth in those files. They wouldn’t accept the truth when Senator Helms exposed it in 1983.
I cannot speak for Gaijan, but I heard similar comments from Peter Hammond's talk: "A Modern Idol - The Truth About Martin Luther King Jr"
I don't know his sources.
Roughly 80 minutes for the entire talk.
Hello from L.A.! Between both the Nixon and Reagan Libraries. :)
