    The gardens around Swan House are so beautiful and there's so many areas to walk around when visiting. We came early and pretty much had the place to ourselves. We only wanted to see the outside home and gardens. There's a nice boardwalk around the outer area of the grounds. The price to visit is a little steep if you're not interested in going inside at around $25 pp. Otherwise, it's a nice spot to check out while visiting Atlanta. If you're staying in Buckhead it's super close too.

    Beautiful! May I move in, please? A part of the Atlanta History Center. Never made it inside although I passed this place so many times. When you live somewhere, you somehow never end up making the time to visit the museums in area. Fall is so beautiful in Atlanta! If you go to the Atlanta Visitor Center, they have a Souper (Super) Jenny inside. Souper Jenny is known for their soups. They have an amazing Curry Butternut Squash and Apple soup. The T-shirt in the picture can be bought at Souper Jenny.

    This is the house of the original owner of the land that the Atlanta History Center sits on. The house has a really neat history behind it which a host will tell you about when you enter the home. You are allowed to walk through the whole house, and it is filled with the original furniture, kitchen appliances, dishes, etc. No matter how many times you visit you will always see something new here. Highly recommend visiting. Military and veterans admission is free.

    The Swan House is a beautiful, historic mansion turned museum in the heart of Buckhead and it's a well-known, popular wedding venue. We toured the 4 levels of the home including the basement filled with fine China and artifacts. The Swan House is just breathtaking. The backyard is the real showstopper and a perfect photo opp. Beautiful grounds and gardens.

    Didn't pay for the tour, bc no dogs allowed. Still wanted to see the glorious house. We drove around to the North side of Museum and took pictures through the gate. Beautiful landscaping and decor. I could nap on that lawn for hours.

    Swan House and Hunger Games The Swan House was built in 1928 at a cost of $106,000 in cash for the Inman family after their Atlanta home burned in 1924. The Classical/Renaissance revival home was designed by Phillip Trammel Shutze, who ironically never built a home of his own. The recurrent theme of swans, which is seen throughout the house and gardens, give the mansion its name, The Swan House. The home featured modern comforts like central heat, indoor plumbing and a private telephone room. At the time it was built, an average home would cost around $2000. Edward Inman, who had accumulated wealth from cotton, banking and real estate, served as a city councilman, supported efforts to help the poor in the community and escaped the financial losses from the stock market crash, died three years after moving into the home at 49 from a fatal heart attack. His widow, Emily, learned to play the stock market to support herself after his death and also invited her children and grandchildren to live in the home. In fact, one year she gave the grandkids boring "papers" for Christmas. Those paper were shares of Coca-Cola. She was also a suffragette supporting women's causes. She lived at the home until she died at 84. The home was most recently featured in the Hunger Games series. It was interesting to hear how classical rooms were transformed into futuristic scenes. For example, Katniss' bedroom was created by painting the traditional formal green living room white, then back to the light green after filming and then being repainted white and gold for a sequel. Swan House was chosen as President Snow's Presidential Palace for the classic lines of the historic mansion. The dining room with its hand painted English wallpaper is also prominently featured. The basement holds Shutze's collection of Chinese porcelains and English and continental decorative arts. Fun fact: Mrs. Inman would not allow her family to use the main floating staircase. She made the family use the back staircase to keep the wood looking new. The "private" telephone room had a vent which allowed you to hear the entire conversation in a room on the second floor.

    The Swan House is located in the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead. Completed just before the Depression, The Swan House is nearly a century old. It gracefully stands with its own gorgeous gardens and a cascading fountain up front. In the spring and the summer, the stairs down to the fountain from the house are lined with lady bank roses over the wrought iron rails. TSH was built during the same period as the Ca' d'Zan (1924) and while both are magnificent, I adore the Swan House. It was gorgeously restored in 2004. Architect Philip Trammell Shutze designed this renaissance revival beauty for the cotton brokerage fortune heir, Edward H Inman. The name comes from the swan motif throughout the house and the gardens. Mr. Inman was active with the local business and politics but died in 1931. Mrs. Inman was active in women's suffrage. Inside, the spectacular curved staircase still stands and Mrs. Inman had her family use the servants' staircase to protect it. The TSH shows period (1930s) furnishings much of them are from the Inmans but not all. TSH was habited by the Inmans until 1965 when the inheriting decedents decided not to reside there. They took their family heirlooms. Now some of the contents are from an attorney whose name escapes me (library) and a very large porcelain collection in the basement is not from the Inmans. The gardens surrounding the house are both southern and Italian. There are sculptures including an elephant and a Lee playhouse sprinkled along different gardens. The gardens can be rentedand is popular for weddings and corporate events. In the more recent years, TSH was in the Amazing Race and The Hunger Games as the President Snow's mansion. The admission fee ~$22 pp includes in the Atlanta History Center and the Margret Mitchell House. For additional ~$32, 45 minutes of "behind the scenes" access to the rooms not available to the AHC admission and information from period dressed guides. Check for times at https://buytickets.atlantahistorycenter.com/WebStore/shop/ViewItems.aspx?CG=AHCCG&C=TKTCAT Parking is free.

    I love walking around this property. It's gorgeously historic, quiet and scenic. Visiting the house was a pretty amazing experience. I would suggest a full experience of eating at Swan House and then walking the grounds.

    If you like hunger game movie series, this house has been use to film the movie. It is in the "Catching Fire" of the movie series. Some of the visitors dress like Katniss Everdeen in black with bow and arrow and take the picture in front of the building. It is cool that people post their picture with full costume of catching fire. The Swan House is beautiful. Falling water pool with stair entrance to the main house. The house is surrounded with garden with peace and quiet. Very classic house look. The main hall has grand spiral staircase. Dining room is make for good party. Although this house was not built with electricity but it was retrofit nicely. Library or family room is comfortable. Like most of the historic house, the master bedroom and children room are up stair. If you visit the Swan house, allow 1 hour to enjoy it.

    The swan house was very nice to see and staff was very kind and answered our questions. The garden And house were beautiful but when going to the farm, there was no food or WATER for the sheep and chickens in this 90 degrees weather. They really need to watch out for this because it was really sad seeing a thirsty animal going to it's water empty water bowl Heartbreaking... properly care for them or have no animals there at all!!!

    Highlight: who knew such a lovely place existed here in Atlanta! I feel, if you want to explore southern mansions and biltmore, this place is as good if not better. There are no vineyards, but the artistry, scenic gardens, coziness, and better manicured decorations beat most southern mansions in Georgia. 16$ for adults in the Atlanta History museum gets you into the Swan house, tullie farm, Swan Coach House, and even a research center. I love that it is not touristy and that there's much to offer. It's great for scenic pictures, wedding photos, and painting and contemplation. Hint: you technically need to pay 16$ to enter the Atlanta History Museum, but technically, if you park at Swan Coach House (teahouse and gift shop), it's open access(free) to the Swan House and Tullie farm from the back roads. Valet parking on lot or street parking. Swan House: there are actors dressed up and acting the parts of the historical home! I think the smaller home than biltmore was fresher and better in decor. I felt biltmore was more impressive for its size and wine yards but it felt gloomy and older. I like that Swan felt brighter and higher end. There are also less tourists, so you can have a good private and lovely time. The library is grand and high shelves, the piano and parlor was a lovely green shade with flowers for the ladies to entertain. There was also a kitchen. The basement had the Chinese Trading fine China collection this time. It is a nice collection that is not too overwhelming where all the china looks all the same, the paint and craftmanship was still intricate and colorful. Upstairs, you have the children's bedrooms, the master bedroom, and also the Hunger Games was filmed here for Mockingjay! So you can visit the set and see the costumes and props! The Atlanta History Museum: this gallery impressed me- I knew Atlanta had some historical museums but didn't know they were this well collected and curated for the public. There were Native American cultural, Bobby Jones, civil war, and even natural flora fauna collections. Swan Coach House: a southern up scale restaurant that serves salads, soups, and fruit. Teas and coffees are there too. Not a place to stuff yourself- but to enjoy small bites and make conversation. Tullie Farm- it's a small farm tucked right by the mansion and you can see the skyline of Atlanta. There were sheep and chickens (lovely heritage breeds btw). The farm is actually an inn and there's weaving and spinning inside. The actress will tell you about petticoats and play the guitar for you. There was the quarry gardens down by the creek and woods but I didn't go bc of mosquitos but for nature lovers and pants wearers, do check it out!

    Picture this, a mansion with an immaculate cascading rustic concrete outdoor stair case surrounded by gardens and trickling into rolling plush green hills. Who knew this could exist in Atlanta on West Paces Ferry a block away from Peachtree Road? Built in the 1928, the Swan House is part of the Atlanta History Center. Saying that the Swan House grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and picturesque is certainly an understatement. In September I attended an outdoor wedding ceremony there. The atmosphere was very elegant and romantic and when the wedding party stood in formation it was almost like watching a Hollywood movie, just sheer perfection. The Swan House is available for special events as well as tours. General admission for tours ranges between ten and fifteen dollars. This is a place that you have to see.

    Our visit to the Swan House was included in our admission to the Atlanta History Center. Architecturally designed by Philip Shutze for the Inman family, it was the home to widow Emily Inman and her children and grandchildren until the mid 1960s. We were greeted by a character actress who told us it was "open house" feel free to take pictures but don't touch anything. Each room has an uniqueness all of its own along with swan motifs everywhere. Outside the mansion sits a rolls characteristic of the 1930s period along with gardens and a large fountain leading down to a magnificent view of the hill down the back of the building. There is a outside photo viewing area where you can capture the full effect of the house along with the fountains and rear view. Inside the morning room we saw another character playing the piano and explained that the porch adjacent was used as a side entrance that connected both this room and the library. The Swan house has been used in some of the scenes from the Hunger Games. They offer tours on Saturdays that showcase the rooms used in filming the movie. Unfortunately we did not have the time to take advantage of these tours. Please note-there are restrooms available downstairs. You are not permitted to use the ones in the building since they are not functional. This attraction was truly breathtaking and so much to take in. Make sure to mark it on your schedule when visiting the Atlanta History Center.

Tickets run about $26.95 for standard adult admission, with slight variations depending on the day and if purchased online or in person. Given the sheer scale of the grounds, it feels like a fair value. I went on a weekday, which I highly recommend. Parking is incredibly straightforward, you park right on-site at the SAGE Parking Facility. It starts at $3 per hour, but keep in mind that the garage is entirely cashless, so you will need a card. Also if there is an event at Piedmont Park, parking may be impacted. Check-in was quick, and while there were visitors, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The entire experience flowed smoothly from start to finish. This is perfect for a solo adventure. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary with the Super Bloom display, and it showed. There were over 200,000 tulips and spring bulbs throughout the garden. When I reached the Great Lawn, it opened up into a full sea of color. The visual texture of so many layered, vibrant petals blooming all at once was stunning. Each section felt different. One moment I was surrounded by vibrant florals, the next I was walking through lush greenery that felt almost like a rainforest and the air was so clean. It naturally slowed me down in the best way. The Orchid Daze exhibit was a highlight for me. It was calm, lightly fragrant, and tucked away enough to feel like a quiet escape. I ended up staying longer than expected. It would have been nice, if they had more dedicated seating areas. There weren't many spaces designed for just sitting and being, closer to the flowers especially if you wanted to relax without being in the middle of foot traffic. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There were also great spots for photography, I saw everything from casual photos to full-on portrait sessions. On-site Dining If you plan to stay for a while there is a restaurant on-site, which is convenient. The menu was simple, light bites, sandwiches, and seasonal options. Pricing was about what you'd expect for a major attraction, averaging around $25 to $40 per person for a casual lunch. Overall: A way to slow down and take things in. Peaceful, beautiful, and worth the visit. I'm already curious to see how it will transform for summer.

It's a shrine to unchecked capitalism and leans into imperialism (the net effects of Coca-Cola throughout the world are... not great. The literal world). The propaganda that makes up 50-70% of the museum is Orwellian in its hypnotic suggestive effect. I know this. I know all of this. My left-wing principles cried out to experience what I claim to despise. But. BUT. BUT!!! All that goes out the window when you're faced with all-you-can-drink Coca-Cola products from around the world. Maybe those initial addictive* ingredients are still a part of the secret recipe. Maybe there's something about the smell/sound/sight/fizz/taste that lights up ones lizard brain and won't be satisfied with anything other than a distended belly full of sugary corn syrup. Perhaps nostalgia can override cognition. Who knows. All I know is that when I got to the end of the tour and saw station after station of brown, black, red, purple, blue (!) liquid and knew that the only limit to my gluttony was the capacity of my human body... something... broke? I had to try them all. Pokemon had nothing on me. And a taste wouldn't do. Not even if I didn't care for it... not even if I had had it before (somehow, somewhere)... I needed a cup. A full cup. Berries. Apples. Ginger. Florals. Appertifs. Genuinely horrible tasting stuff. I.Had.It.All. and I wanted -- no -- I demanded more. (Point of order: I can fully attest to the bad decisions I made (I regret nothing) but I'm a grown-a$$ man. To the parents bringing your kids in here to run around, get hopped up on God knows what and begin a descent into altered brain patterns that will show themselves more clearly in the years to come... shame on you. What are you thinking? There needs to be a test prior to parenthood.) Long story/review short: 'Taste It' will change your life and become the only leg you'll need to stand on. Man, I'm thirsty. It's Pavlovian, y'all. I done been changed! *You know what I'm talking about.

    We want to visit new places local to Atlanta. We went to this location as a family of 4 with kids…read moreon age 4&9. Our kids had a wonderful experience and we did too. It was so amazing to see all the nice planes and the history of how delta came into being. The staff at this place are so wonderful and helpful. Don't miss out the attraction of the virtual flight screen where you can pick your destination and see those places in a boarding experience. In the end you get to take photo and get a printed copy courtesy of the museum. You will pick that up in the shop. We thought we could get some souvenir of model plane. But in my opinion the prices are in the order of a first class tickets. There is also outer area with different planes and also the 747 that you can get to experiment inside and out. Overall a great spot to visit by if you are closer to the airport.

    It was great to see the amazing 100 years of Delta history. We stopped by before heading out of…read moreAtlanta and as a slight aviation enthusiast and Delta enthusiast it was a great spot. Entering the parking lot, you are greeted by two large planes and its tempting to stop and gawk but you'll have a chance to later. Mid-day Thursday, the museum was pretty empty so it was easy to look at and interact with all the exhibits. The first room plays a relatively quick video before opening up the the Legacy Hangar with a couple plans and a children's area. There is an interactive game for plane control signals that was fun! Moving on to the next space is a hall of different types and brands of planes that Delta uses or have used, neat to see them all in one place. The next hangar, Spirit Hangar, has a large B-767 plane, "The Spirit of Delta". Surrounding the plane is about destinations, delta luggage and uniforms through the year, acquisitions, and the flight simulator. It is cool to be able to be up close to such a large plane see the wheels and mechanisms underneath. Up on the mezzanine is where you go through a jet bridge and into the plane to see a little bit of what it was like and learn about the history of the plane. It is full of memorabilia that were fitting during the planes time. After the inside tour we went out to the 747 experience. About half of the aircraft seats are still in tact, and it is cool to interact with the various different types of cabins. There is a cut away of under the plane to see how it is constructed and various exhibits about the plane and moving it to the museum. Outside the plane you can walk up close and personal with the underside of the plane and other planes on site, including a DC-9, B-757, and DC-7B. It was a great spot to visit, the museum gift shop is stocked with a variety of Delta and aviation gifts and clothes. I would recommend to anyone with an aviation or Delta interest.
