This is a must see for visitors you to Atlanta. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and especially liked the Olympic display.

If nothing else the variety of exhibits makes AHC a good choice for those of many ages or interest. From the civil war to the Atlanta Olympics to Bobby Jones' Grand Slam trophies well worth a couple or three hours.

The history center is the farthest from downtown, but our favorite museum. It has a little bit of everything! We toured the antebellum home and gardens, settler's farm and slave cabins, and also the main museum where my husband enjoyed the Civil War exhibit and I saw the Folk Art exhibit.

While we were at the Atlanta History Center we also saw a temporary exhibition... More

It wasn't super packed, the weather was good for outdoor exploring and the parking was free (at least that day it was - unsure if it is always like that) which is a definite bonus. Being from Virginia the Thomas Jefferson section was not all that interesting, but the other exhibits were... More

The Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, Metropolitan Frontiers and Turning Point:... More

Just spent five hours here!! What an interesting way to spend a beautiful day in atlanta!! Definitely take a guided tour of the swan house to get a sense of life in the 1930s.
