The 33-acre grounds of the Atlanta History Center on West Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead Village were transformed to a series of spooktacular haunts on Friday, October 18. The sights included kid-friendly games and scavenger hunts and scary experiences throughout the grounds. Visitors trick-or-treated through the museum, the Smith Family Farm was transformed to a creepy wasteland of scarecrows, the Swan Coach House became the Swan Academy of Wizardry & Witchcraft, Swan Woods and Wood Family Cabin was overtaken by vampires, and the Goizueta Gardens and McElreath Hall became Shady Oaks Hospital, full of blood-thirsty nurses and patients abandoned since the ’80s.
Spooky sounds and an eerie fog blanketed the Atlanta History Center, transforming the usually cheery site to a Halloween experience like none other. Check out some photos from the event and be sure to come out next year to enjoy this annual tradition in person!
The spirit of Buckhead heads forward. This is the way it has been, and perhaps this is the way it will always be. The spirit of Buckhead points forward. You see it in the way we work, and you see it in the way we play. The reach is always extending further. The search is for excellence and beauty and grace and vibrancy.
We are a community of individuals. We are diverse, we are dynamic, and we are discerning. We are builders. We are connected to one another with a common bond. A common dream. A common quest. Pointing life in one direction. Forward.
