If you have been following the blog for more than a year this title may look familiar. Last year I spent one day at the Museum and ended up with three separate posts.  In a residential suburb of Atlanta known as Buckhead, the Atlanta Historical Society has its museum, and on these grounds the Swan House is open for tours.
