We visited the Atlanta History Museum at the Atlanta History Center and also the Swan House mansion, Tullie Smith farm, and the Margaret Mitchell House. It was absolutely one of the best tours we've done and we've visited sites around the world. I would rate this as one of the best tours to do and a great bargain for all... More

I spent an afternoon at the History Center this past weekend during my first visit to Atlanta with a friend. The grounds are lovely and the museum worth spending serious time at. The exhibition of traditional southern crafts is excellent. Be sure to take a close look at the quilt display. We decided to have lunch at the Swan House... More

This place was educational while being casual. You could roam around at your own pace and see whatever you wanted. There is a variety of exhibits: tours, hands on for the kids, gardens, museums, etc.

The Swan House was very nice. Tour guide was a little long winded & we had to cut out early to make our lunch reservations at the Swan Coach House. Ground are very beautiful. LOTS of kids there on school field trips.

Went to eat one of the best hot dogs in Atlanta at the Metro City Hot Dog stand located at the History Center on April 11. Spent the day walking the grounds and enjoyed the Swan House tour and the historical exhibits on display. Make sure you wear walking shoes to enjoy this 20+ acres location. The exhibits are educational... More

Lots to do and see including an outdoor colonial exhibit. Civil War. Atlanta history. Olympics. Films. Historic houses. Gardens. Changing exhibits. Can spend 2-6 hours depending on your tastes.
