The educational roots of the Winnona Park Historic District
The Winnona Park Historic District was built by its educational foundation. Not only did businessman George Scott start developing the area shortly after founding Agnes Scott College in 1889, but the Winnona Park Elementary School and playground were also established at the center of the community. Today, both institutions continue to serve students of many ages while local architecture and landmarks gives the area its unique charm and identity. With high-value homes, local shopping and plenty of parks nearby, the Winnona Park Historic District paints a picture of what the community looked like during the 20th century.
Winnona Park Historic District is about 8.5 miles from downtown Atlanta.
