Atlanta History Center, History museum in Buckhead, Atlanta, US

The Atlanta History Center is a history museum and research center on a 23-acre campus in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia. Its main building, opened in 1993, holds permanent exhibitions such as Metropolitan Frontiers and Turning Point, while the grounds hold the 1928 Swan House, the Tullie Smith House and the Wood Family Cabin. A 2019 addition houses the restored Battle of Atlanta Cyclorama and the locomotive Texas.

The Atlanta Historical Society was chartered in 1926 by Walter McElreath, with Ruth Blair, then Georgia state archivist, as secretary-treasurer. After McElreath died in 1965 his estate brought about $5,000,000, and in 1966 the society bought the 23-acre Edward H. Inmann estate with Swan House. It was renamed Atlanta History Center in 1990, and its $15 million museum opened in 1993.

The Tullie Smith House, a mid-19th-century farmhouse, was moved to the grounds in 1967 when Mills B. Lane arranged and paid for the relocation, replacing the Inmann barn. It now anchors Smith Farm alongside the Wood Family Cabin, where staff demonstrate period domestic and farming tasks.

The grounds are open Tuesday through Sunday with access to all buildings, exhibitions, and outdoor areas. Plan for at least two to three hours to explore the various buildings and gardens at a comfortable pace.

The Battle of Atlanta Cyclorama, a 360-degree painting measuring 49 by 358 feet, moved here from Grant Park in 2014 and reopened on February 22, 2019, after restoration. The same hall displays the Texas, a Western & Atlantic locomotive used in the 1864 battle. The Zero Mile Post, which marked the city's founding point, was relocated here in 2018.
