Atlanta History Center

Atlanta History Center brings the past to life. Located in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia, the Atlanta History Center comprises a history museum, research library and archives, two historic houses and a series of gardens.
The three major components of Atlanta History Center are: Atlanta History Museum, the Tullie Smith house, a farmhouse from nearby Dekalb County and the Swan House reflecting urban Atlanta of 1920s. Since July 2004 it has also included the Margaret Mitchell house named after U.S.'s famous author who wrote the best seller ‘Gone with the wind'.
It originated in 1926 as Atlanta Historical Society; it has since become a primary source of Atlanta regional and national history.
