Istock night smallerBuckhead is the name of a large northern section of Atlanta. It is home to the Governors Mansion, top notch restaurants, elegant shopping and high end real estate. The name “Buckhead” came from a large stuffed buck’s head on the wall of a Tavern which was owned by Henry Irby and which opened in 1837. It was located at the intersection of Roswell Road and West Paces Ferry Road near a Creek Indian Trail. (now known as Peachtree Road) The popular establishment was able to survive the Civil War, and Sherman’s march to the sea. Formerly known as Irbyville, the name “Buckhead” was adopted as the name of the community. Buckhead and Atlanta were founded approximately at the same time.

The Atlanta History Center with the Swan Coach House

The Swan Coach House

The Swan Coach House, was originally a private home designed by famed architect Philip Trammell Shutze. It was purchased by the Atlanta History Center and restored to its original glory. The home and gardens include the Tullie Smith Farm which is one of the few buildings to survive the Civil war. It was built in 1840 and was brought to the grounds in 1969. The outbuildings and gardens were recreated and it provides a facinating glimpse of the life in Georgia before the Civil war.
