"Museum Mile" House Tour: 1820s

When you visit Athens, one of the first stops you should make is at the Athens Welcome Center for information, tours, and brochures. One of the tours offered by Classic City Tours is called the Museum Mile Tour of Historic Interiors.  This tour takes you to each of the four unique house museums in Athens.  In each house, you will see a different era of Athens History, from the 1820s Church-Waddel-Brumby House, to the 1840s Taylor-Grady House, and the 1850s Ware-Lyndon and T.R.R. Cobb Houses.  

Throughout the week I will be posting videos from each of the houses (just the exterior - you have to take the tours to see the insides!).

Let's start at the beginning with the Church-Waddel-Brumby House, which now houses the Athens Welcome Center.




The Athens Welcome Center is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday noon - 5 p.m.  During daylight savings months (April - October), it stays open util 6 p.m.
