Popular Gardens in Atlanta

"One of Atlanta's best museums, the Atlanta History Center was originally founded in 1926 by a group of Atlantans dedicated to, well, preserving their city's history. The Center, as we know it today, came to fruition in the 1990s as a way of highlighting the political and cultural history of Atlanta and the surrounding region. Unsurprisingly, there's an impressive collection of Civil War art and artifacts here (including Cyclorama: The Big Picture, a painting that measures 49-feet tall by 371-feet long), along with written commentary on the Native American history of Georgia and lighter, more pop-culture-adjacent topics like Folk Art."

"History comes to life at the Atlanta History Center, with its captivating Southern folk art and Civil War exhibitions. As you explore the center, spend some time checking out their guided tours and special monthly programming. Plus, hit its top attractions, like the Centennial Olympic Games Museum."

"The center includes the Atlanta History Museum, the Cyclorama, the Centennial Olympic Games Museum, two historic homes (the Swan House and the Smith Family Farm), a research center and 33 acres of gardens."

"The grand old architecture of Georgia is one of its biggest selling points as a tourist destination. Atlanta has its fair share of mansions as well, including the Swan House. Built in the early 1900s, the Swan House is a beautiful estate sitting on top of a picturesque hill."

"This seven-acre public conservation park doubles as a community garden and boasts walking trails, a spring-fed creek, a frog pond and more. It is located mere miles from downtown Atlanta and is managed by residents of the neighborhood."

"At the center of Inman Park lies this little wind-sheltered jewel. Girded by Victorian manses, Springvale Park offers plentiful shade, a serene pond and the most badass slide this side of the county fair. Be mindful of goose droppings."

"Set on nearly seven and a half acres of green space and rolling terrain, the Park was created over a century ago…"
