Clayton County Georgia, Open to the World

Have you ever heard of the Atlanta Life Company? How about the Crystal Palace? Does the name Alonzo Herndon ring any bells? What if I told you this home behind me was once knew as the highest peak in the city & it was owned by the FIRST Black millionaire in Atlanta. I had the pleasure of visiting the Herndon Home Museum to learn more about his life and legacy. Herndon’s journey to his success did in fact lead him to Clayton County, GA, where he opened one of his first businesses, master his craft, and developed his strategies for his future legacy. You can find a highlight about Herndon in Clayton County’s newest Visitors Guide! Secure your guide today! Link In Bio! #SeeClaytonCountyGA #atlantaga #fyp #alonzoherndon #blackhistory
