Archibald Smith Plantation Home

In Roswell, there is this elegant home constructed by one of the town's founding fathers, Archibald Smith. In 1838, the Smith family and nearly 28 of their slaves left two plantations in St. Mary's, along the southern coast of Georgia, to make a new start with some 300 acres of cotton farmland north of the Roswell Town Square.
For over 150 years, the Smith's plantation home has stood the test of time as the civil war was brought to it's front steps, and all around it, the small mill village of Roswell erupted into a bustling metropolitan suburb.
Perfectly preserved are the Smith's two-story farm house, complete with outbuilding, including slave quarters, a cook house, corn crib, carriage house, well, and spring house.
Three generations of the Archibald Smith family lived in the house,  their family cook lived in the house till her passing in 1994, and most of their belongings (which chests are still in the attic from the original Archibald Smith family).
