The Alpharetta and Old Milton County History Museum is comprised of a permanent collection of artifacts and interpretative displays which guides the viewer through a chronological timeline of Alpharetta’s past. The City’s history is deeply connected with the neighboring cities in North Fulton, therefore the museum reaches beyond the current boundaries of Alpharetta.

From 1858 to 1932, Alpharetta was the county seat of Milton County, which encompassed the present-day cities of Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, portions of Roswell, and northern Sandy Springs. This connection is reflected in the collection and variety of displays found throughout the museum.
