About Roswell History Museum

The Roswell History Museum, located in Roswell, Georgia, displays artifacts and historical materials from the city's past. Visitors explore exhibits housed in the museum, which occupies the second floor of the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. The museum draws from the Research Library and Archives, which contains thousands of manuscripts, maps, books, photographs, newspapers, pamphlets, family files, textiles, and artifacts related to Roswell and its surrounding areas. The Roswell Historical Society, established in 1971, has accumulated these collections over decades of preservation work. Visitors interested in local history and genealogy will find resources documenting the region's heritage. The museum also connects to the Society's broader work, including its Cemetery Project, which focuses on preserving historic cemeteries and recording information about those buried in them. Educational programs and events complement the museum experience for those seeking deeper engagement with Roswell's past.
