Archibald Smith Plantation Home, Manor house in Roswell, Georgia, United States.
The Archibald Smith Plantation Home is a house museum in Roswell, Georgia, built in 1845. Its grounds hold a guest house, slave quarters, a cookhouse, a carriage house, a barn, a spring house and a water well. The property joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
The house was founded in 1845 by Archibald Smith, one of Roswell's founders. The structure underwent major restoration work in 1940 and has since served the public as a museum.
The home displays how prosperous families lived during Roswell's early settlement period and how they organized their households. Visitors can see which rooms served specific purposes and understand the daily rhythms of family life in that era.
The site is accessible by foot and offers guided tours on various weekdays. The guides lead visitors through the rooms and explain how the family and household workers lived and worked here.
The Smith family occupied the property across three generations before the city acquired it in 1986 for public use. This extended family history gives the place a personal quality that many museum buildings rarely convey.
