Pre civil war era family farm. Nice job assembling and restoring the buildings. There were guides to answer questions when we visited.

Pretty cool place with historic buildings but the exhibits on Native Americans needs work.

Get in touch with the past for perspective. Learn about Atlantas history, the importance of the Battle of Atlanta, and this very painting -- and our collective memory of what really happened in 1864 and 1865 to shape this great Nation.

A very interesting look into a bygone era. Extremely kid friendly. Almost everything is allowed to be touched (period clothing, furniture, household items, etc.). Goats, sheep and chickens present. Only about 2-3 minutes stroll from the main building. Staffed by very friendly volunteers who can tell you more about what youre seeing.

It is SO cool that this exists right in the middle of the city! I love the house. It wasnt in that spot originally, but it depicts the time very well. Well-planned out and assembled. It really speaks to the history of Atlanta/the south, and the old pastoral ways, so Im so glad that they included this piece, because farming helped to shape us. There are sheep, chickens, and turkeys, so be sure to say hi!

We go regularly and like to take a guest along.I love the gardens, lectures, and special events. Educational and entertaining. Being a member is a great value for my family!

I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could volunteer here. Fantastic farm house with docents were very helpful in explaining the different parts of the house and how it was used by the family. Also covering how it had changed over the years. The kitchen building frequently has demonstrations. Even when there is no one there the collection of hearth cooking implements is quite extensive. The slave quarters were fine with explanatory panels. The goats, chickens, turkeys were great to see as was the barn and blacksmith shop and wood working equipment area. You really felt like you went back in time.

Brought my dad on fathers day for the Juneteenth exhibit. This was a great experience and definitely worth the trip. Great for kids and adults. Everyone will find something interesting.

Cool little farm and historic center in Atlanta. Worth stopping by to see the old houses and buildings. Plus the farm animals and exhibits. Gives you a small idea of what life in rural Georgia used to be like. Plus what life in general used to be like on a farm in the US. Surprising to find something like this in a well populated residential area. Easy to find and get to with plenty of parking.

Very nice review of life in the 1800s in the south. Lots of things to read, especially on slaves and how they lived. Never knew some slaves had their own gardens. Was nice to learn they typically worked these very small gardens by moonlight.

Any interesting slice of Atlanta history. It was much better when they had blacksmiths and others in character there acting out parts.

This is a fun tourist attraction for those who want to do something outdoors

This attraction was amazing and realistic. The staff stay in character and act as slaves in the hs. It is not handicap accessible, but amazing! There is a very clear feeling of what life was like in the times of slaves in America. Go check it out and learn. Its amazing!

Interesting historical activities associated with daily living being reenacted. Good for children and to ask the performers about what they are doing.

Speechless about the experience. Learned a lot about the city and about history in general. Absolutely recommend it.

Part of the Swan House History Museum. A nice portrayal of 1800 plantation living. I like how they kept the kitchen separate from the house. Interesting little facts. Great for kids.

Great experience. Painful memories of our past. But God...

So glad to get to walk around and see and learn so much about southern history.

The Smith Family Farm is interesting and the imported slave house and other parts even more so which seemed to be out of historical context.

Its a piece of history, but besides that its just a house

We did a self guided tour at the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead while on a recent visit to Atlanta. The Smith Family Farm and the Swan House were amazing !

Remind me of my grandparents home

The guide was very informative

Awesome history must see it

Awesome historical destination to visit if youre visiting Atlanta.

Interesting stuff.

Wonderful and interesting to see how like was like back then

We had an amazing time with this Historical Center didnt even know it was here and we lived in Atlanta for 7 years !!!!! lol we loved visiting the farm in the plantation. We needd more time to go through the Museum Part though we will definitely be returning

There were sheep, goats and chickens for kids. History of the homes and staff to inform you.
