Atlanta has a number of big parks and famous homes and attractions. (2006,10,11) |
| This 1920's mansion known as the Swan House is now a part of the Atlanta History Center and boasts a dazzling European style fountain and gardens. A mirrored view of the nightime city skyline on the lake in Piedmont Park. You can go for history and storytelling at Wren's Nest, home of Joel Chandler Harris who compiled old slave tales into the stories of Br'er Rabbit. Not quite the grand scale of Tara, this old apartment building now a museum was the home of Margaret Mitchell when she wrote Gone With the Wind. The brick walkways and fountain of Centennial Olympic Park, a bit of open space in the heart of the city. The cyclorama offers a dynamic presentation of the Civil War 'Battle of Atlanta' through a view of a gigantic oil painting of the event. One of the newer attractions of downtown Atlanta is its large aquarium with one of the world's largest marine collections. |
