At the beginning of the day, I was not even sure that we'd visit here. However, their website noted…read morethat you had to make an advanced reservation to be admitted (per my understanding), so I dutifully made a reservation for 2. As it happened, we were able to make it here around 2:15 p.m. or so on a Saturday. We had visited once before over a decade previously, so I had no real recollection of it. The museum is located within a mile of the loop highway around Athens. We arrived and parked in the covered deck. To access the museum, you then walk down away from where you entered. I found the front desk and offered to show the young woman staffing it our tickets. She said that she did not have a way to actually scan those, so we were waived in... I liked a wall-exhibit as you enter: large letters spelling 'WELCOME' but formed from several types of mounted security cameras (none or some of which may be active...). You ascend a long stairway. to your left is some temporary exhibits. These were more of the 'modern art' variety. A series of rooms about Hiroshima and another room with sensory nausea-inducing video. In the opposite direction are the more static galleries. These are laid out roughly in accordance with art styles or time periods. There is a room devoted to colonial / antebellum Georgia, one devoted to Impressionism, one to 1930's Depression-era works, etc. I enjoyed these more than I did the modern wing. We finihsed up and headed out within an hour. The exhibit is free. Unless there is some travelling exhibit that is of particular interest, I don't think I'll likely be back within another decade, though.

You may head to Athens because of UGA sports. (Go Dawgs!) Perhaps you have kids attending the…read moreuniversity. Possibly you take the drive to eat at chef Hugh Atcheson's acclaimed "Five & Ten" restaurant. But are you familiar with the Georgia Museum of Art? Reason in itself to visit Athens. With a diversity of exhibits in galleries filling the second floor, you're bound to view something -- perhaps many things -- that stops you in your tracks. Representation by the de Koonings, Renoir, Cassatt, Okeefe and other acclaimed artists, you will also be turned on to talent you likely haven't heard of. I was captivated by the photography of Jim Fiscus as well as the gallery featuring work of black artists. Regarding logistics: the museum is open every day except Monday. Check their website for hours. Parking is free, as is the museum. But if you can, consider putting a few dollars in the kitty to help defray expenses.

My daughter and I spent a wonderful weekend in Dahlonega recently horseback riding, wine tasting,…read moreand enjoying the wonderful restaurants and quaint charm of Dahlonega . The highlight of our visit was a ghost tour at Dahlonega Walking Tours. Penny and Jeremy welcomed our group to enjoy a glass of wine on the porch before heading out to learn about the colorful history of Dahlonega and the unnerving happenings that are brought to life through Jeremy's entertaining and engaging storytelling. We walked through Hope cemetery in the dark trying to catch a glimpse of a white-gowned woman or a long-gone soldier. We heard how the ghost of Mrs Vickery would visit students at the college's Vickery House when they themselves alone after hours. Many photos were taken with one or two containing some rather interesting objects. Jeremy's tour was a good combination of local history and the paranormal. It is not to be missed! We ended our tour with another glass of wine on the porch as we shared pictures and stories. Thank you for your hospitality! We will be back!

We did the historic ghost tour, it starts at 8 and is a little over 2 hours. It was an amazing…read moretour, our guide had so many stories and facts it was very intriguing! The walk is about a mile and half but plenty of breaks and some stops do have places to sit. Recommend also going early grabbing a glass of wine from a Georgia winery and enjoying their beautiful porch that over looks the square. This tour was my favorite part of the trip and highly recommend booking!
