Don't miss out on live music, good food, and plenty of opportunities to buy and create art.
Check out one of nature's odd attractions at Panola Mountain State Park. The park was created in an effort to preserve a 100-acre granite monadnock, or mountain. In all, this state park occupies 1,635 acres and is home to a visitor center, a playground, two fishing lakes, an archery range, and plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking in the great outdoors.
Take a tour of one of Atlanta's historic homes at The Wren's Nest house Museum. The Queen Anne Victorian house is a perfect example of upper middle class living in the 20th century, and was home to Joel Chandler Harris from 1881 to 1908. The National Historic Landmark was named 120 years ago when wrens made a nest in the mailbox - and that is just one of the stories surrounding the legacy of this Atlanta landmark.
See a show at the Alliance Theatre at the Woodruff, a Tony Award-winning theater company in Atlanta. Since opening in 1968 the theater has hosted a number of productions including The Color Purple, Aida, Beauty and the Beast, Treasure Island, Hamlet, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and many more.
