January Happenings

January is officially on its way.  2013 is here! A brand new year! These are some of my pics I've taken through January thus far.  My time in Atlanta is winding down, and I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to all these places that still seem so new to me, but I look forward to what is ahead for me.

Atlanta History Museum

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 outside, back entrance of the Swan House.

 

Beautiful statues in the Garden.

The actual "Front" of the house.  This house is also said to be where parts of Catching Fire were filmed.

The lovely Garden.

The lovely green sitting room, via the Atlanta History Center.

Which way to go?

The lucky elephant.

A perfect path.
