Coretta Scott King lived in the final King family home on Sunset Avenue until 2004. In 2018, the National Park Service acquired the property. In August 2024, they offered final tours of the home until it closed for restoration. It is scheduled to reopen in 2027.
The Kings moved here in 1965 with their children Martin Luther King III, Dexter, Yolanda, and Bernice. It was in the basement of the home that Mrs. King began The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center to memorialize the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
