New Atlanta Field Trips Instagram Account for Exploring Georgia
Hey Georgia and travelers— Meet my new project!
.
My reputation is that of a wanderer and everyone asks me about field trips. Or I have to introduce lifelong Georgians to the places around them that I’ve found in my three years here - you guys have to get out more!
.
So, I’ve decided to take that a step farther and make a separate Instagram for Atlanta Field Trips @atlantafieldtripmom
.
And don’t forget to send me suggestions of places I need to go!
.
I’ll be using this platform to document old trips and tips to help you there as well as the new adventures I have planned. Hope this encourages you to get out and see some new stuff! Don’t forget to check out the blog where I have even more info under “Explore Georgia”.
.
I’d love if you would share with your Georgia people so I can reach out to more families!

Below is just a snippet of my cross-post.

For in-depth ancient history in Atlanta, you have one option and not enough people go! Located on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta is the Carlos Museum, an excellent, low-cost museum for all things ancient history. This lesser visited history museum is worth a visit.
.
🧭Where: Atlanta in the Druid Hills area about 15 minutes east from downtown
.
⏰Tuesday-Friday 10 AM - 4 PM; Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM; Sunday 12 PM - 5 PM
.
💰Cost: Cheap compared to many museums: adults $8, seniors $6, youth (6-17) $6. Check online for free Sunday FunDays or ask your library about checking out a museum pass for free admission.
.
⚠️While I always advocate taking kids of al ages to museums, this one has Greek busts and Egyptian vases out on pedestals - aka “don’t bring your three year old for his first museum experience”.
.
📝Education: The Egyptian, Nubian, Near East, Grecian, Roman, Ancient Americas, African, and Asian galleries have artifacts from so many ancient cultures from around the world.

Save this post for your future visit! There’s even more info on my blog (link in profile).

Hope this encourages you to go check it out! If you’ve been, what was your favorite piece? We loved seeing ancient coins from the time of Jesus!
