Smith Family Farm

The Smith Family Farm includes the Tullie Smith House, a plantation-plain house built in the 1840s by the Robert Smith family.  Originally located east of Atlanta, outside the city limits, the house survived the destruction in and around Atlanta during the Civil War.  The house and detached kitchen were moved to the Atlanta History Center in the early 1970s and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house and separate open-hearth kitchen are now surrounded by a dairy, blacksmith shop, smokehouse, double corncrib, slave cabin, and barn, as well as traditional vegetable, herb, field, flower, and slave gardens. Costumed interpreters lead tours of the house and perform activities typical of nineteenth-century rural Georgia during special programs.

The Atlanta History Center thanks the Poppy Garden Club for their continued support of Smith Family Farm.
