Reviews
"Had to go 3 times to see everything. So much to do and lots of walking. The historical value of the grounds and all the items there, heart touching. My children laughed when they saw what the phone room looked like back then. Can’t wait to go again to watch the documentary on Stone Mountain."
"Had reserved a free pass from the Gwinnett County Public Library. Atlanta History Museum was available for use in 7 days & one renewal. I had to make a trip plan by figuring out the Gwinnett County transit along with the Marta Train. Had to commute to Atlanta twice to tour Atlanta History Museum. 33 acre of land including the Swan House, the museum, farm area, and parks. Theres plenty of tour guides in the area ready to answer any question. The three times I was here, wedding rehearsals were going on. Theres a cafe for coffee. Plenty of sight seeing available. Planning ahead was a must for me but so well worth it."
"Went there with my family for the Emmett Til exhibit as well as the other galleries. Had a great time, as there is a lot to see and after 3 hours still missed a lot. The Swan House and gardens were our favorites, as well as the Emmett Til exhibit. Hope to visit again."
"The Atlanta History Museum was a great place to learn about the history of Atlanta. The Cyclorama was certainly interesting, however, the museum did very little to draw in and engage with the audience. It certainly left it up to the viewer to determine their own level of engagement. The best part of the Atlanta History Museum was certainly the Swan House. This was absolutely pretty and a can’t miss."
