Exploring the Area You’ll find that Henry County makes a convenient base for exploring the surrounding area, located only 30 minutes from the attractions of downtown Atlanta and less than an hour from Macon.
Atlanta
You can spend days exploring metro Atlanta attractions. The kids will love the new Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Stone Mountain Park and Six Flags Over Georgia. Take time for reflection at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Revel in visual beauty at the High Museum of Art or the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
Macon
Venture south to Macon for the great historic city of the American South. Attractions include 10,000-yearold Indian mounds, the largest collection of ancient African artifacts, the top 40 musical hits of Little Richard and REM at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and remember the greats at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.
In Between
Between Atlanta and Macon there is plenty to keep you busy. Stately Oaks, in neighboring Jonesboro, is that city’s response to the question, “Where is Tara?” Film buffs, don’t miss the little town of Juliette that served as the setting for the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. If you prefer the outdoors, travel south to fish at Jackson Lake or visit the oldest state park in the United States—Indian Springs. 32

Battles & Belles Start your day with a visit to the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum to see how a once quiet rural farm became the site of one of the defining battles in the War Between the States. Gaze upon bullets, belt buckles and cannon balls recovered from the grounds. Travel to nearby Jonesboro for a tour of Stately Oaks Plantation, Clayton County’s “Tara.” Just a short distance up the road arrive at the Jonesboro Depot where you can book historic tours and visit the Road to Tara Museum. Take a short drive to Atlanta where you will be literally surrounded by history at the Atlanta Cyclorama, a 42 foot tall painting in the round that depicts the Battle of Atlanta. Finish the day at the Atlanta History Center which houses the most comprehensive collection of Civil War artifacts in the world. Days Gone By Spend the day exploring your roots and a simpler way of life. Start your journey back in time in the 1820s Settler’s Log Cabin in the Heritage Park Village. Travel up the road to Southern Belle Farm where milking demonstrations, strawberry/pumpkin picking (seasonally) and hayrides are the order of the day. At the Atlanta State Farmers Market enjoy a farm fresh lunch before browsing through the 150 acres of vendors. Moving from root veggies to family roots, enjoy a basic genealogy workshop and a tour of either the Georgia State or National (Southeast Regional) Archives. History will come alive in a new way after this insightful look into the past. 770-957-5786 | www.visithenrycountygeorgia.com 35
