Roswell, Georgia

Roswell is located in northern Fulton County, in the Atlanta metro area. The city, which was incorporated in 1854 and has a population of 79,334, is set 23 miles (37 kilometers) north of downtown Atlanta.

There is plenty of history to explore around Roswell. The first stop on your tour should be the 640-acre (259-hectare) historic district, of which 122 acres (49 hectares) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and which includes homes, churches, monuments, cemeteries, and more. As for some specific locations, here are just two that you shouldn't miss: Bulloch Hall, a Greek Revival antebellum home that was once home of the mother of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Barrington Hall, once home of Roswell's co-founder, Barrington King.

For local arts, head to any of the many local galleries, or to venues like the Roswell Visual Arts Center or Roswell Cultural Arts Center. The city is also home to an abundance of community events and festivals.

When you feel the need for fresh air, right at your doorstep you'll find the 127-acre (51-hectare) Chattahoochee Nature Center, which is set along the Chattahoochee River, and is a great place for bird watching and spending time with nature. For more energetic individuals, the Nature Center is also the site of road races. Also along the Chattahoochee you'll find the seven-mile (11-kilometer) linear park that's great for activities like hiking and fishing. And if you don't have your own, you can rent canoes or rafts to float down the Chattahoochee River.

All this, and easy access to all that metro Atlanta has to offer – what are you waiting for?!
