“A mountain of memory.”

Stone Mountain in Georgia is a massive granite monolith rising prominently from the surrounding landscape, making it one of the most recognizable natural features in the southeastern United States.

Carved by geological forces over millions of years, the mountain offers expansive views of the Atlanta region and beyond from its summit.

Both a natural landmark and a site layered with cultural and historical complexity, Stone Mountain reflects the intersection of geology, memory, and public space—where natural grandeur and contested history coexist in a single, imposing setting.
