Known foressential AtlantaBuckheadindoor/outdoorcomprehensive
Atlanta's most comprehensive history museum, set on 33 beautifully landscaped acres in Buckhead, with outstanding permanent exhibitions on the Civil War, Atlanta's growth, and Southern folk art. The Swan House mansion tours and the Cyclorama — a massive 19th-century painting of the Battle of Atlanta — are not to be missed. The grounds alone, with historic gardens and trails, justify the visit.
