The Archibald Smith Plantation Home is a plantation in Roswell, Georgia built in 1845. The home was built by Archibald Smith and housed three generations of his family. Arthur and Mary Smith restored the home in 1940.
The City of Roswell purchased the plantation and all its existing artifacts from the Smith family for US$125,000 and opened the facility for public display. In addition to the home, the grounds include a guest house, slave quarters, separate kitchen facility, carriage house, barn and water well. The plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[2]
