Join us as we explore how the Southeast’s largest history museum, Atlanta History Center, was founded and grew into the multi-faceted institution we are today. This experience will focus on the history of three of Atlanta History Center’s historic homes and their surrounding gardens; including the families who built and lived in them; some of the important historic events that occurred while the homes were occupied; how and why the homes were acquired by Atlanta History Center; and how the historic houses are interpreted on our campus today.
