Where the Star-Spangled Banner was born: a compact fort with sweeping harbor views and living history. It’s an easy win—flat paths, open lawns, and a visitor film that sets the scene in under 15 minutes.

Start at the visitor center for your map, then follow the ramp to the east wall for the best harbor vantage. Time your visit for a flag raising or lowering—the ranger talk turns the place into a story you’ll remember.

For a slower visit, circle the star-shaped ramparts clockwise and watch ships move in and out of the Patapsco.

Rhodes Hall, often referred to as “The Castle on Peachtree,” is a grand Romanesque Revival mansion in the heart of Atlanta, built in 1904 by furniture magnate Amos Rhodes. It not only embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of early 20th-century Atlanta but also serves as a landmark of cultural and architectural significance. Originally a lavish family home, Rhodes Hall now functions as a museum and the headquarters for The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.

Rhodes Hall is distinguished by its stunning granite facade, intricate stained glass windows, and ornate woodwork. The interior boasts a majestic staircase, exquisitely detailed fireplaces, and a collection of original furnishings that offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Rhodes family. Beyond its architectural beauty, the mansion is also known for its Halloween ghost tours and Christmas decorations, making it a vibrant center for community festivities.

Did you know Rhodes Hall houses one of the most complete collections of family portraits dating back to the Civil War era in Georgia?
