Gifted Atlanta

Looking for something to do on Monday when school’s out? How about a free visit to the Atlanta History Center?

The museum is waiving its admission fee for the day. Exhibitions feature the Civil War, folk art, the Centennial Olympic Games, civil rights, and Native American history. You can also visit the the museum’s historic houses: the 1860 Smith Family Farm and the 1928 Swan House. (If you aren’t sure your kids will want to tour a century-old mansion, perhaps you can entice them with the fact that the Swan House was one of the locations where “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” was filmed.)
