Roswell’s Historic Homes




        Long-standing cornerstones of historic Roswell,
        ‘A Southern Trilogy’: Roswell’s Historic House
        Museums consist of Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall,
        and Smith Plantation, telling the stories of Ros-
        well’s foundation. These houses provide a sense
        of community “rootedness” and endurance as
        well as an opening for tourism and connection.
        They represent our past but are also a place of
        reflection, dialogue, and decision as we move
        forward. The staff and volunteers of Roswell’s
        historic assets are proud to serve the commu-
        nity and hope to see you soon.  In collaboration
        with the efforts of the Roswell Convention and
        Visitors Bureau, our historic assets draw tourism
        visitation from almost all fifty states and several
        countries from all over the world. .
