Tullie Smith Farm


Tullie Smith Farm is located at West Paces Ferry Road NW, Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 20 miles from the city's international airport. This is a plantation house built in the 1840s by the Robert Smith Family and is located on the grounds of Swan House and is now operated as a historic house museum by the Atlanta History Center.

Guided tours of the house are provided between 11am and 4pm Monday to Saturday and from 1pm to 4pm on Sundays. Tours can only be reserved on arrival at the house and therefore guests are advised to arrive early to ensure they gain a space. As part of the tour, costumed interpreters lead guests around the house and perform activities that would have been typical of 19th century rural Georgia.

As they walk around the house, visitors will see the open hearth kitchen, blacksmith shop, smokehouse, a pioneer log cabin, double corncrib and barn. Outside they will see the traditional herb, vegetable and flower gardens. Inside a cabin on the site is an exhibition that explains the history of slavery in the Georgia Piedmont as well as other aspects of life in the 1800s here.
