Yes, there was no trouble with taking photos in the house.

The history museum is very interesting but takes time. The Swan House is also superb. Make time for the cafeteria lunch in the history museum the food is delicious but gets very busy around lunch time - go early to eat we did!

We did them on our own. Your visit to the Atlanta History Center ($16.50 last year/ Mitchell House admission is also included) will take several hours.There is much to see. We spent around five and a half hours and that included having lunch at the Swan Coach House, which is a MUST. History buffs should make the Atlanta History Center their first stop. The center’s collections of photographs, maps, books, newspaper clippings, and decorative arts tell the history of Georgia, Atlanta, and the Southeast. In fact, the center has one of the largest collections of Civil War artifacts in the world. The Center itself is surrounded by 32 acres (13 hectares) of woodlands, including walking trails and five gardens. Inside the Atlanta History Museum, hands-on discovery areas, displays, and photographs trace Atlanta’s history. Part of this permanent exhibit includes a fire engine used in Atlanta’s great fire of 1917 and a rare 1920 Hanson Six touring car. Another exhibit, the “Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South” shows the development and attributes of Southern folk art. It includes both traditional and modern forms ranging from clothing and food to singing and storytelling. Also on the grounds of the Atlanta History Center are two must see historic homes. The Swan House, an immaculately restored 1928 house/museum, is filled with eclectic furnishings, decorative arts, and a swan emblem in every room. The Tullie Smith Farm, an antebellum mansion, evokes what life was like in Georgia in the mid-19th century.

It's not a mansion, but rather a small apartment building . She lived on the ground floor for 1925- 32. The other apartments have been converted into a small museum with photos and memorabilia from the movie. Out in the yard there a very small one room house that has a few of the things that were used in the movie. We started the day by having breakfast at Gladys Knight’s Chicken & Waffles 529 Peachtree Street, NE Tel; 404-874-9393 We parked the car in the lot that is right next to it and left it there all day. Afterwards we walked for ten minutes or less to the Mitchell House.

No it is included in the price of admission for the Atlanta History Center which is wonderful. Maybe I'm a bit biased being that I am originally from Atlanta. Still it is a great place but if you go to the History Center, please allow yourself several hours. To take it all in you will need it. Also if you happen to be a member of a botanical garden (or any garden) that is a member of the American Horticultural Society, you can get in free. They have a reciprocal agreement with other participating gardens. I am a member so yes I got in free. Hope this has been helpful

There is a free parking lot for Atlanta History Center next to the main building.

I am a fellow visitor. I would suggest looking at the website and for calling I had to find out.

Sorry for the delay in answering....I was there as part of a guided tour. Allow time as the museum is fascinating. The Swan House is equally so and is included in the price of the ticket. Make sure you allow time to eat in the cafeteria, the soup is delicious and everything is home made. Gets very busy at lunch time and that is why it is yummy.

Yes, it's actually on the grounds with the Swan House. Just a nice walk through the gardens from the house in fact!

After visiting Swan House I was totally satisfied . Not only do they have the house to tour but a museum, farm house and gardens. Walking the grounds were beautiful. We also took our picture up on the stairs of Swan House just like in the movie Hunger Games. Plus they gave you complimentary tickets to see Gone with the Wind author Margret Mitchell

I would recommend taking MARTA from the airport to the Buckhead station. The Atlanta History Center is located at 130 West Paces Ferry Road NW, closest to the Buckhead MARTA station on the red rail line. It is the future home of the Cyclorama, and the museum also includes a variety of exhibits and gardens along with the Swan House and Smith Farm House. From Buckhead, take the first set of stairs out of the station after exiting the fare gate and at street level there will be a bus stop for route 110. Tell the bus driver that you would like to exit at West Paces Ferry Road. Once off the bus, walk west on West Paces.
