Atlanta History Center 
Museums / Galleries, Buckhead
Fodor's Review:
Life in Atlanta, the South, and the Civil War are the focus of this fascinating museum. Displays are provocative, juxtaposing Gone With the Wind romanticism with the grim reality of Ku Klux Klan racism. Newest on the scene is a two-story addition highlighting the history of the Olympics, focusing on the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. Also on the 33-acre site are the elegant 1928 Swan House mansion and the newly restored plantation house that is part of Tullie Smith Farm. The Kenan Research Center houses traveling exhibitions and an extensive archival collection. Lunch is served at the Swan Coach House, which also has a gallery and a gift shop.
