Statue at the Atlanta History Center
The Atlanta History Center is located on 33 acres in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia. The center is unsurpassed as on of the most culturally important Atlanta attractions. The center contains one of the Southeast’s largest history museums, a research library and archives, 2 historic houses illustrating over 1000 years of Atlanta’s history, a 2-acre midtown campus which houses the Margaret Mitchell House & Museum; and a series of unique urban gardens.

The 1986 gift of the DuBose Collection, one of the nation’s premier assemblages of Civil War artifacts, was the catalyst for the $15 million campaign to build and equip the Atlanta History Museum. Today the museum features award-winning exhibitions including signature exhibitions like Shaping Traditions: Folk Arts in a Changing South, Turning Point: The American Civil War and Down the Fairway with Bobby Jones.
