Atlanta History Center, Atlanta

FANTASTIC! We did the tour here a few days ago while on a short visit to Atlanta. Of course we had to get coffees and some lunch before we started our self guided tour at 3.30pm.Lunch here was great by the way! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we saw. First we followed the path out the back to the Swan Mansion and then the Smith Family Farm because those events close at 4pm.Then it was back to inside the museum itself where we had til 5.30pm to see what we wanted.The huge Civil War display was incredible and so were the historical items on show from Atlanta in the 50's, 60's and so on.This place is a must to visit!

What a great education about Atlanta visitors gain here. So well done, they don't sugarcoat things. I really enjoyed the way this museum was put together. So thoughtful. Wonderful experience.

There's seven exhibits in the main museum that focus primarily on different aspects of Georgia History. There's also three historic houses on the property as well: The Swan House, The Smith Family Farm and Wood Family Cabin. In addition there's also 22-acres of gardens outside as well. All of this is included in the general admission for $21.50 for adults and $18 for students/seniors, and $9 for kids 12-4. Tickets after 3:45 are half priced but you will not be able to see the historic houses as those close at 4 everyday.

Greetings! Shaping Traditions is one of the many excellent exhibitions currently on display at the Atlanta History Center. The Center always takes care to provide in-depth information and artifacts with exhibitions. There’s a coffee shop and a fantastic restaurant on site. The staff is courteous and extraordinarily helpful. The History Center also provides a number of great lectures and book talks throughout the year.

Amazing museum, we wasted our time at World of Coca Cola before we were recommend this museum. Interesting exhibits on the Civil War, Bobby Jones and one on BBQ and its rich history. Even the Cafe was great. Uber trip also takes you pass the beautiful homes of Buckhead.
