Atlanta History Center

Host an unforgettable social gathering or have a memorable wedding ceremony at this historic venue setting. This Atlanta landmark is versatile enough to host a dinner party or act as a pre-function space for the Grand Overlook ballroom. Consider adding a costumed interpreter that will perform historical character narratives.

Because Swan House is a historic house museum, parties and receptions are not allowed inside the mansion, but your guests can tour the mansion for a few hours during your event.

After entering through the Locomotion: Railroads and the Making of Atlanta, guests will flow into the upper gallery of Cyclorama: The Big Picture  for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres—or a seated dinner surrounded by artifacts. 

When your guests venture into the Cyclorama they will be awed by the almost 18,000 square foot painting and diorama. This 1886 artifact was recently restored and opened in February 2019 as one of Atlanta’s most unique event spaces.

As if from the pages of a fairytale, fragrant flowers bloom year-round in Olguita’s Garden. Find yourself a world apart surrounded by hundreds of blooms, perennials, and seasonal plantings against a fragrant and evergreen tea olive hedge.

The ornamental garden, adjoining terrace, and private lawn are an ideal space for a cocktail hour or ceremony adjacent to the Grand Overlook Ballroom. Olguita’s Garden and Museum Terraces cannot be rented on their own, but make a wonderful addition to the Grand Overlook Ballroom or Atlanta History Museum.
