Atlanta flights and travel guide

Atlanta History Center

Immerse yourself in Georgia’s southern history at the Atlanta History Center. The center is located in 33 acres of gorgeous gardens and offers guided tours at two historic homes. The Tullie Smith House was built in the 1840s and survived General Sherman’s almost total destruction of Atlanta in 1864. A farmhouse once owned by a farmer named Robert Smith, the Tullie Smith House is a great representation of the typical Georgian house at its time. The other home, the Swan House, represents the opposite end of Georgian life. Once the home of cotton heirs Edward and Emily Inman, the home is a magnificent mansion that was built in 1928. You can also visit several other historic buildings and exhibits.
