A decent museum with a number of historical buildings that have been moved to the grounds. A 1920's mansion, 19th century farm buildings including slave quarters, and rather slick museum showcasing a civil war collection and the 1996 Summer Olympics. My last visit was May 2009 and have to say it's a little gem in the city. Even better, at... more

My wife and I were impressed by the overall value and exhibits at the AHC. We have paid more just to see 1 historic house in Savannah and Charleston, admission was ~ $16 . The Swan House and Tullie-Smith farmhouse tours are included in the admission but you must schedule a tour. The Swan House was well furnished overall and... more

We Brits thought that this was a top class museum the main part of which is housed in a fabulous purpose built building. The Olympic exhibition was interesting but is was a shame that some of the interactive screens were not working properly. The main reason for our visit however was the Civil War audio tour and exhibits which we... more

I loved this museum. Very well laid out and maintained. My mother who hates most history things loved it also. The Civil War exhibit is a real treat and I highly recommend the audio tour. The folklore exhibit really touched my heart because so many of the crafts that southerns partook in at one time seems to be disappearing. This... more

I see other reviews rate this place high, and I don't understand that? Are we all talking about the Atlanta History Center at 130 West Paces Ferry Rd in Atlanta? If so, here is why I rate it very low. First, the admission is $15 plus $1.50 tax, way too high. Generally speaking, the place consists of TV screens where... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stop at the Atlanta History Center. I am very glad I made it a place to see during my three day trip to Atlanta. It is well worth the price of admission. Included in the museum price are tours of a farm and mansion. First I got my tickets for the Swan House, a mansion built... more

A well thought-out museum with something for everyone; several galleries covered a broad range of subjects (folk art, local Native American history, golfer Bobby Jones to name a few) plus the added attraction of a historic farm and a charming 1920's mansion with its formal gardens still intact. Easily could spend many hours here--plan at a minimum three to simply... more

An education made interesting. Loved the Civil War materials. We really liked Swan House too! We live in Atlanta and are so happy we decided to go. more

I have been to the Atlanta History Center three times and find something new each time I am there. One can easily spend at least four hours there exploring. I love the fact that it's so many things in one--a well thought out mueseum, 2 historical sites/houses to tour, a lovely southern restaurant, and beautiful gardens to tour. I rarely... more
