    The Atlanta History Center is a 33-acre campus of historic homes, gardens, and award-winning exhibitions. The Center’s library and archival repository is the Kenan Research Center, which preserves extensive primary source holdings for the study of Atlanta and the surrounding region. 

    The Atlanta History Center is located at 130 W Paces Ferry Road NW in the Buckhead community of Atlanta. There is free parking available on site. Feel free to contact Mariah Isbell at misbell@atlantahistorycenter with questions or concerns about the facility tour. 

    This tour will be roughly 90-minutes. Meet in the lobby of McElreath Hall, down the hill from the main museum building and across from the parking deck, for the start of the tour.
