Above you can see a layout of the lots of the homesteads that once resided in the preserve area, In 1912, William Bagley and his family fled Forsyth County. They left behind their land, their home, and the only community they had known. Seeking a fresh start, they found a new home in the established Black neighborhood of Macedonia Park, situated on Old Decatur Road in Atlanta. 

Today we hope to continue to preserve the legacy of Bagley Park lives through the preservation of this greenspace.
