5 Things To Do in Downtown Roswell

Roswell, GA

Summer is here, and it’s time to spend quality time with family and friends doing things we love. If you’re new to the area and are looking for something to do in Downtown Roswell, besides eating at one of the best downtown Roswell restaurants, our handy guide can show you the way. Whether it’s drinks with friends or a girls’ night out, you’re sure to find something for everyone, and if you’re looking to grab a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, we invite you to stop by and see us at The Mill Kitchen and Bar.



Shop ‘til You Drop

Downtown Roswell has something for everyone, especially if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone special or that hard-to-buy-for colleague or friend. Many shops offer unique, one-of-a-kind finds from clothing, home decor, and so much more. Plus, for those looking for antiques and collectibles, the Downtown Roswell scene is one of the top places in Atlanta to score a deal.



Architectural Discoveries

One of the great things about the South is the classic architecture that still defines our way of life, albeit with more modern amenities. Classical plantation homes like Barrington Hall and Archibald Smith Plantation Home offer visitors a look back at how life was lived in the antebellum South and how things have evolved since the Civil War. It’s the perfect time of year to go as several of Downtown Roswell’s historic homes including Barrington Hall and the Founders Hall have free access for the month of July. 


Another venue to visit in Roswell is Old Mill Park, which is the site of the former Roswell Manufacturing Company Mills, one of two mills destroyed by Union forces during the Civil War. Today, it’s a park filled with trails and a coved pedestrian bridge that allows visitors a place to relax and enjoy being outdoors. 



Seasonal Events

A great thing about Downtown Roswell is that something is always going on. From festivals to chili cook-offs, the city offers something for everyone. To find out what’s going on, visit the city of Roswell’s website to keep up with the latest happenings so that you won’t miss out on any of the fun. Whether you’re into wine tastings or checking out local musicians, you’ll surely find something fun to do or see.



Museums and Monuments

Besides the many monuments celebrating achievements throughout the city, one local museum brings the recent past into full view. The Computer Museum of America brings the digital age into focus by exploring artifacts from the last century. The museum was created to preserve and explore the history of the computer and other technology by preserving products from that age and educating the public about the ever-changing world of computing.



Dine With Family and Friends

Nothing caps off a day of discovery better than an evening relaxing with family and friends. After you’ve visited the museums, toured the historical buildings, and bought the perfect gift for someone on your list, it’s time to settle in at our mixologist restaurant for a classic cocktail. Or come by for one of the best brunch Roswell GA. The Mill Kitchen and Bar on the square in Downtown Roswell can’t wait to see you! Stop by for brunch, lunch, or dinner today!
