A Peek at the Grand Old Smith Plantation, Waaay Back in Roswell, GA

Constructed in the solemn year of 1845, the Archibald Smith Plantation Home, a premier sightseeing spot in Roswell, GA, was a brainchild of none other than the town’s big kahuna, Archibald Smith. Over the years, it served as the residence of three generations of the Smith crew, until it was traded to the city in 1986. Mary and Arthur Smith, the older Smiths, were the ones who gave the place a modern-day facelift in 1940, and it opened its doors to the public in 1991. You can find it relaxing at 935 Alpharetta Street, offering a glimpse into the simpler days gone by. The property includes a guest house, slave quarters - yes, you read that right - cookhouse, carriage house, barn, spring house, and water well. This old-timer was given a nod of approval by the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It’s a captivating look into the Smith family’s past and the roots of Roswell.
