Atlanta History Center
More than just Gone With the Wind
Back to Atlanta History Center
The Atlanta History Center boasts 33 acres of gardens, exhibits, historic structures and more! I was extremely impressed by how clean and well kept everything was. The Museum hosts about 7 different exhibitions but my favorite was the one on the Civil War and the history of Atlanta. Swan House and the Tullie Smith Farm were phenomenal. The staff really knew the information and were so pleasant. Go check it out! You won't regret it!

The segregation exhibit was fascinating. The mansion was okay if you're into that kind of thing. Olympic exhibit is good, but would be better if everything worked and was well-maintained. I'm sure the Civil War exhibit was interesting too, but we ran out of time. The walk outside (to the mansion, farm house, etc.) is amazing on a nice day.

I first visited in 2005, I was astonished to see that the facility appeared to be unkept & the museum staff was not very helpful or corteous. Needless to say when my wife asked me to return this year, I was not very excited to return. I felt if an instution such as The Atlanta History Center did not care enough about how the paying public viewed them, than I would not provide any support by paying to enter. Reluctantly I returned and was very pleased to see that there has been many improvements(staff, and upkeep of the grounds & facility). Looking forward to the new exhibits. Great Job!

I visted the place and was very disapointed. There was too many gay people, not a good value for cost and is not a multicultural atmosphere. The staff was horrible, the grounds were unkept and the building is falling apart.

The museum provides a wonderful and thorough overview of the formation of the foremost city in the South. Their exibits are interesting and the authentic artifacts are amazing. As someone from the Atlanta area, I really appreciated the Atlanta History Center.
