Atlanta History Center is celebrating 100 years of preserving the stories that shaped Atlanta with its newest exhibit, Atlanta in 100 Objects, and it’s easily one of the best cultural attractions and museum experiences in Atlanta right now 🏛️✨ I spent the day exploring the 33-acre Buckhead campus and loved how the experience transforms Atlanta history into something immersive and interactive for all ages, from iconic historic homes and gardens to hidden artifacts, walking trails, and family-friendly exhibits. One of the coolest parts is that you can actually take a piece of Atlanta home with the Atlanta in 100 Objects book, which doubles as the perfect coffee table book or Atlanta travel souvenir while supporting 100 years of the History Center. Whether you’re an Atlanta local, visiting from another state, or traveling internationally, this is the kind of Atlanta experience that gives you a deeper connection to the culture, history, and stories shaping one of the South’s most influential destinations. Top experiences to explore: • Atlanta in 100 Objects exhibit • Swan House • Goizueta Gardens • Historic homes + trails • Family-friendly interactive spaces • Atlanta in 100 Objects book Which Atlanta landmark or piece of history would you want featured in the exhibit? 📍 Thanks to Atlanta History Center @atlantahistorycenter for sponsoring this post and supporting Serving Looks ATL | 130 W Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 3030 Follow @ServingLooksATL for more standout experiences, travel, culture, lifestyle, hidden gems, and destinations worth discovering locally and around the world . . . . . #atlantaguide #atlantahistorycenter atlantafamilies #thingstodoinatlanta #atlantaevents #familyfunatlanta atlanta family activities things to do with kids in atlanta atlanta hidden gems family museums atlanta children activities buckhead family attractions atlanta history center
