Hello.
The National Pencil Factory is no longer in existence unfortunately. The site has been dsiiolved into the urban landscape of downtown Atlanta. The Jewish Museum in Atlanta has some excellent paraphnalia, as well as Atlanta and Matietta's history museums--they have some incredible Frank archives. Mary Phagan's grave is one good place, but you should check out Marietta--an hour away from Atlanta, the Marietta History Museum and Archive, the prison farm outside Marietta an hour away itself (which still stands but is acutally in the process of being torn down--the Atlanta Jewish Museum is fighting to get it put on the national historic landmarks) the site of Leo Frnak's lynching and murder (a plaque on the corner of a bulding now marks the place)...etc. There is so much--but Marietta will really take you back to those old red hills of home. Good luck.
Semper Idem.
