Great American Road Trip Destinations Series: Roswell, Georgia

March 9, 2018

Looking for a vacation filled with Southern comfort and charm? In our last blog post as part of our Great American Road Trip Destinations series, we introduced the little-known town of Cumming, Georgia.

In this post, we’re highlighting the nearby town of Roswell. No, not New Mexico. Instead of aliens, UFOs, and secret government projects, this Roswell is a fun little city that’s chock full of fun attractions for visitors and an easy day’s drive from Cumming or Atlanta.

Here are some of the top attractions that Roswell, GA has to offer.

Archibald Smith Plantation Home

This charming plantation home that was built in 1845 by one of Roswell’s founding families: the Smiths.  The home was built on 300 acres of cotton farmland and has been preserved by three generations of the Smith family. It’s now one of the best examples of vernacular architecture and full of historical and cultural interpretation. It’s open as a museum for the public to enjoy.
