Atlanta City Tour | Atlanta History Center & Cydorama

Sunday, June 2 from 9:00-12:00 p.m. EST | $50 per person (prior registration required)
Get to know Atlanta’s past and present - in 1926, 14 founding members introduced the Atlanta Historical Society into the world with one mission: to help preserve Atlanta’s history. In 1990, after decades of collecting, researching, publishing and celebrating the early stories of our great Southern community, the Atlanta Historical Society and all of its holdings officially became the Atlanta History Center. Today the 33-acre grounds hold the famous Swan House, curated Goizueta Gardens, Tullie Smith Farm (a working farm and highlights life pre–Civil War), Centennial Olympic Museum, Bobby Jones exhibit, and the Cyclorama exhibit. Atlanta History Center is a member of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, which is the only global network of historic sites, museums and memory initiatives that connects past struggles to today’s movements for human rights.
