This history museum centers on the Swan House, a 1930s mansion designed by iconic Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze. Visitors can wander through the opulent rooms or through 22 acres of pretty on-site gardens. At the time of writing, the History Center was restoring the battle of Atlanta cyclorama to a location near Swan House. The finished cyclorama will form an immersive painting that wraps around the viewer, complete with new, contextual interpretations and exhibitions.
