I'm a big sucker for 60s, so I made a point to check out DACO's current Mod/60s exhibit before it…read morewas gone. All I can say is: So cool! Yes, I definitely wish there were more artifacts, posters and clothing on display, but that's just because I'm a lover of any and all things 60s era, so anything original to the time period just plain excites the dickens out of me and makes me think and ponder socio-economic conditions, and life in general, during America's past 100 years even more, haha. The museum is next to the Sherman house, a historical home with its own significance. There's plenty of free street parking if the small lot next to DACO happens to be full. I believe it was $11 to see their spotlight exhibit. If you're an art/history buff, I recommend you take a day stroll down to Lancaster and stop here; anything of historical significance is always worth patronizing, imo.

As part of the exhibit, I took a flower arranging class at the art education center on the museum property. Our instructors Brooke and Elizabeth were very knowledgable and gave us lots of helpful tips for working with flowers at home. Elizabeth provided all of the fresh flowers from her floral design business and farm (Bluegreen Gardens) and they were gorgeous. Admission to the Decorative Arts Center is free. On the weekends, they are open Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 pm. The staff is made up of volunteers and they are always fantastic.

What a super cool store. I love when there is a little museum to see some of history. The glasses…read morein the museum were super cool. I wish I could acquire some for my collection! The store is a little tight because there are so many items available but they are absolutely beautiful and it's a joy to have so many options. Things are a bit pricy but idk what price is comparable. Service wise I will say I don't think I've ever really been greeted by an associate but it makes it less awkward and pressured when you just want to see the museum. I make it here each year for the wands and wizards weekend and never regret the stop! Overall, definitely recommended to stop by

Passion Works Studio is an inclusive studio where artists with disabilities collaborate with disabled and non-disabled adults to create art. Their belief that art enhances the quality of life and strengthens communities is one I truly believe in and the fact that they work with disabled adults is so close to my heart as my brother is a disabled adult. Whether you live in Athens or not, you have the ability to purchase their official Painted Passion Flower (which is the official flower of Athens). It's made from recycled aluminum printing plates from the local newspaper and the hand-painted by artists of the studio. They are each as unique as the artist and they are truly beautiful.

Several different sizes and it was great to see them put together. They offer tours, sales, a really cute ice cream stand and more. They've been featured on WOSU and I think the history channel.
