Smith Farm at Atlanta History Center
4.6 (165)museum
4.6 (165)Atlanta’s oldest farmhouse depicts 1860s rural life with heirloom gardens, historic buildings, and heritage livestock.
Description
Smith Farm interprets Georgia farm life alongside the history of enslavement, representing an Atlanta-area working slaveholding farm from the 1860s with historic outbuildings relocated here for preservation. Cultivated grounds reflect the era through field crops, an enslaved people’s garden, a kitchen garden, and a swept yard planted with heirloom flowers. Naturalistic native plantings frame the outbuildings, while heritage-breed sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys live on the property.
