There aren’t too many places left in the country that are undisturbed. This is why when we come across a place that would use the term “ancient” in its description, it’s hard not to be impressed. This ancient old-growth forest in Georgia, for example, is not only a historical wonder, but it’s also stunningly beautiful – almost as if it popped right out of a storybook. And the best part is, you can visit Fernbank Forest any time you’d like.
Fernbank Forest closes daily at 5 pm but is open rain or shine. It is open year-round for self-guided tours allowing you to explore its 65 acres of an ancient forest. If you’re looking to plan a trip to this old-growth forest in Georgia, you can visit the Fernbank Museum website for events and current museum exhibits.
