 Join us for lunch on Thursday, October 15, from 12:00–1:30 p.m. at the Downtown Capital City Club.

Historian Amy Durrell, founder of History Afoot Atlanta, will take us inside the Atlanta History Center’s centennial project, Atlanta in 100 Objects. Durrell was a member of the project’s research and writing team, contributing essays on more than 40 of the objects selected to tell Atlanta’s story.

For the Atlanta Business Roundtable, she’ll narrow that collection to 10 compelling objects, sharing some of their lesser-known stories and offering a behind-the-scenes look at why these particular artifacts help illuminate Atlanta’s history.

Through History Afoot Atlanta, Durrell offers walking tours that explore what exists in Atlanta today, what came before, and how the two come together—connecting the city’s history to our lived experience today.
