While historic Downtown Roswell is best known for its amazing restaurants, there's much more to this walkable, tree-filled neighborhood than places to eat (although -- you'll want to try them all). The wide, brick sidewalks feature outdoor cafes and benches for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere, while the Heart of Roswell Park provides a gathering spot for residents to relax and enjoy a picnic. The boutiques, art galleries, and specialty shops are ideal for an afternoon of shopping.
Smith Plantation, a historic house museum, provides a glimpse into Downtown Roswell's past -- the home was built in 1838 and is open for tours. Other historic house museums include Barrington Hall and Bulloch Hall. Downtown Roswell is close to several beautiful parks along the Chattahoochee River, including Vickery Creek Falls Roswell Mill and the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
