The Heritage Sandy Springs Museum is a local non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of Sandy Springs, stewarding a community park, and enhancing the cultural identity of Sandy Springs. Since 1985, the Heritage Sandy Springs Museum has achieved its mission through the presentation of meaningful educational and heritage programs for both children and adults, and special cultural events to residents of Sandy Springs and the surrounding communities. Heritage Sandy Springs maintains the beautiful and historic four-acre park site around the original "sandy springs", now known as Heritage Green, offering an oasis of green space in an otherwise modern urban setting. Through its many free and affordable community programs, the Heritage Sandy Springs Museum and Heritage Green serve as a thriving community gathering place. The Heritage Sandy Springs Museum is located within the historic Williams-Payne House, circa 1869.
