National Park's 100th: The Goat Man Remembered At Oakland Cemetery
Primary Content
Seventy thousand bodies are buried in the heart of Atlanta at Oakland Cemetery. Residents include former mayors and governors, "Gone With The Wind" author Margaret Mitchell, and golf legend Bobby Jones. But most of the occupants are little-known figures from Atlanta's history.
We spoke with David Moore, the Executive Director of the Historic Oakland Foundation, to learn about the life of William Jasper Franklin, better known as "The Goat Man."
Oakland Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. This story is part of our ongoing series about historic sites in Georgia to celebrate the National Park Service's centennial year.
