US-IALE 2010 Half-Day Road Trips

I. Andalusia, Home of Flannery O’Conner - CANCELLED

Andalusia, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980, has been brought to life by descriptions in the published letters of Flannery O’Connor, The Habit of Being. The wooded areas of the property have been largely untouched for many decades, giving them a remarkably pristine appearance even though Andalusia is located adjacent to a rapidly developing commercial district. While the oldest existing structures at Andalusia only date back to the early nineteenth century, local historical records and physical evidence on this elevated property suggest much earlier occupation.
Includes round-trip transportation.

II. Athens Music Heritage Tour - CANCELLED

Explore the sights and sounds that cultivated Athens’ rich musical landscape. Local scenester, and former Side Effect, Paul Butchart will lead the tour. Paul knows the scene well and has many great stories to prove it. Stops include the Murmur trestle, “Sidewalk of the Stars,” and Ricky Wilson’s gravesite. See where REM and the B-52s got their start!
Includes round-trip transportation.

III. Historic Madison Walking Tour – No charge

Madison's pre-Civil War and Victorian homes, as well as its restored downtown, offer a wide range of shops, tastes, sights and services to visitors from this country and abroad, as they travel along Georgia's Antebellum Trail, the Georgia Antiques Trail and the Historic Heartland travel region.
Successfully blending old with new and southern tradition with high-tech, Madison-Morgan County, Georgia, has been bringing tourists, newcomers, and local residents together in a unique, unspoiled atmosphere. Nearby Lake Oconee is a favorite retreat for Atlantans and visitors offering world-class golf and tennis resorts along its shores.
Includes round-trip transportation.

IV. State Botanical Garden of Georgia – No charge

The Garden is located approximately three miles south of the University of Georgia campus. It encompasses approximately three hundred acres, much of which borders the Middle Oconee River, containing specialty gardens, special collections, and a tropical conservatory, featuring a broad array of native and exotic plants. More than five miles of nature trails traverse the natural areas of the Garden.
Includes round-trip transportation.
