This last weekend I went to the Atlanta History Museum and I was pleasantly surprised. The museum covered everything from the Civil War to the 1996 Olympics, to the good that Martin Luther King did. One of my favorite parts was the tour of Swan House. It is an old mansion that was donated to the museum and is now a part of their over 30 acres of property. The house was beautiful inside and out, although we were not permitted to take pictures of the inside I borrowed some from the Atlanta History Center website. Those pictures are marked. Enjoy.

The lovely Garden.
