Can you believe this beautiful estate is located in the heart of Atlanta?

The grounds are also absolutely stunning with fountains, sculptures, and lush greenery. The name of the house is drawn from the swan motifs that are placed throughout the interior.

Today, the Swan House is a part of the Atlanta History Center, and your admission to the museum grants access to the grounds and the interior of the Swan House. You also might recognize this popular Atlanta photo spot from the Hunger Games movies! President Snow’s house anyone?
