The Wiliams-Payne House & Museum

The Heritage Sandy Springs Museum is the only museum dedicated to sharing the exciting and vibrant story of our community. Located in the re-purposed Williams-Payne House at Heritage Green, the Museum opened in March 2010.   An anchor exhibit gives visitors an overview of community history.  As the largest and most comprehensive exhibit gallery, "Sandy Springs: Land and People" tells the changing story of our community as the home of Native Americans, rural farmers, and modern suburbanites. Interpretive panels depict key transitions in Sandy Springs history, including the Land Rush, Civil War and Reconstruction, the impact of World War II, the area's growth in the late twentieth century and the struggle to become a city. Changing galleries will allow for in-depth exhibits about historical, seasonal and current events. Changing space will also allow many never-before-seen artifacts from our collection to go on display for the first time and provide space for traveling exhibits from other museums and cultural organizations.
