Stone Mountain: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Stone Mountain is a city in DeKalb County, Georgia, located in the eastern part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The city takes its name from Stone Mountain, the world's largest exposed granite monolith, which dominates the landscape and serves as both a natural and cultural landmark.

The mountain and surrounding 3,200-acre Stone Mountain Park have played significant roles in the region's history and continue to be important cultural and recreational destinations. The area has undergone various transformations throughout its history, from its early Native American inhabitants to its development as a quarrying site in the late 19th century, and later as a major tourist destination.

The city itself, incorporated in 1941, maintains a small-town character while benefiting from its proximity to Atlanta's cultural amenities and economic opportunities. Today, Stone Mountain combines its historical heritage with modern development, offering visitors and residents access to both natural attractions and cultural experiences.
