Things to Do

Andalusia Farm in Milledgeville, Georgia

Discover Andalusia

Author Flannery O'Connor returned to Milledgeville to live at her family's farm, Andalusia, from 1951 until her death from lupus in 1964. An estate of more than 500 acres, Andalusia is composed of gently rolling hills divided into a farm complex, hayfields, pasture, man-made and natural ponds, and forests. Leashed pets are welcome to discover the estate and walk a mile-long nature trail that loops through the woods along the Tobler Creek.

Bartram Forest

Explore Bartram Forest

In 1794, the Bartram Forest was inhabited by Native Americans. Today, educational hiking trails allow visitors to see centuries of abundant wildlife, natural wetlands, and an erosion ravine with soil that is a remnant of the ancient shallow seas that covered Georgia 50 to 100 million years ago. Three looping trails cover this natural wonder.

Memory Hill Cemetery in Milledgeville, Georgia

Meander through Memory Hill Cemetery

Originally designated as one of the four public squares of 20 acres each in the Milledgeville town plan of 1803, it later came to be known as Cemetery Square. Many people associated with Milledgeville and Georgia history, such as L.Q.C. Lamar, Congressman Carl Vinson and Flannery O'Connor, as well as early Georgia governors, legislators, college presidents, slaves, and soldiers, are buried here in Memory Hill Cemetery.

Oconee River Greenway

Play at Oconee River Greenway

Nestled along the quiet Oconee River, the Greenway is home to miles of walking trails and a two-sided dog park. Pups get to roam around and play with each other in this puppy paradise! Back on the leash, stroll the boardwalk and trails, and even dip your paws in the river.

Lockerly Arboretum in Milledgeville, Georgia

Stroll through Lockerly Arboretum

Founded in 1965, the Lockerly Arboretum includes approximately 50 acres that feature shrubs, trees, herb beds, rhododendrons, a confier collection, and bulb and perennial beds. Visitors with their pups on leashes can walk the acres of gardens, walking trails and view the pond.
