The namesake of the community-the Historic Sandy Springs-anchors the Sandy Springs Historic Site. The site has served as a central landmark and gathering place for the community since the time of the Indians. Today, it is home to the Williams-Payne House, the "Milk House", a Victorian style band shell, a deluxe two-hole privy, as well as spectacular historical landscaping and green space. Modern amenities include our offices and the Garden Room, a popular meeting and reception area.

The Sandy Springs Historic Site is a public park, open from dawn until 8:00 p.m. daily at no charge. Tours of the Williams-Payne House Museum may be made by appointment by calling 404-851-9111 or by e-mail. The museum is currently open to the public on Fridays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
