Amy Durrell approaches history by examining landscapes to understand past lifestyles. Since starting a job in the Candler Building in 1986, she has explored Atlanta's history and led walking and biking tours since 1987. Her interests include residential stories, the origins of Civil Rights activism, and women's contributions in the city. With a Master of Heritage Preservation from Georgia State University, Amy focuses on Georgia's narratives and researches the history of rural schools, including oral histories from Black students in 1940s Putnam County.
History Afoot Atlanta offers historian-led walking tours that highlight the connections between past and present. Our engaging tours expand Atlanta's narratives, fostering conversations about the diverse individuals who shaped the city.
