Take pride in a true American, Southern art form at the Atlanta Jazz Festival. The jazz genre has deep roots in the South, and Atlanta has celebrated those roots for the past thirty years. The Paul Mitchell Trio, Art Blakely, Don Cherry, Freddie Hubbard, John McLauglin, Herbie Hancock, and Miles Davis are just a few jazz legends who have played at the ATL Jazz Fest.
You haven't really experienced Southern history until you've toured a genuine plantation home. Journey back through time as you walk through the Archibald Smith Plantation Home. This historic home was built in 1845 and has been preserved over 150 years through the test of time. Exhibits in the home include a feature on the Smith family and their role during the Civil War.
Get up-close to some wild animals at the Yellow River Game Ranch. Plenty of nature's creatures and photo opportunities await you here, where you will see deer, bears, cougars, goats, bunnies, buffalo, sheep and more. While you're hanging out at the ranch, you'll get to feed baby animals and see bears stand up for special treats.
