What stories do the stones whisper at the Quilt of Origins? Here at Centennial Olympic Park, the Quilt of Origins isn’t made of fabric. It’s woven from five plazas, each telling a piece of Atlanta’s vibrant history. The Quilt of Origins, along with its companion plazas: the Quilt of Dreams, the Quilt of Remembrance, the Quilt of Olympic Spirit, and the Quilt of Nations, form a unique tapestry.

The Quilt Plazas and Water Gardens reside in the eastern part of the park. They offer a quiet space for reflection amidst the bustling energy of the surrounding attractions. Each plaza within the Quilt of Origins represents a different thread in the city’s narrative. Together they showcase the diverse events and influences that have shaped Atlanta’s culture and identity. So, take a moment to wander through these plazas. Let the stories etched in stone and water resonate within you. The Quilt of Origins is more than just a monument. It’s a living testament to the spirit of Atlanta.
