Beech Haven: A Walking Tour

Visit the 145 acres of "Beech Haven", the Rowland family's historic rustic retreat and Asia-inspired gardens along the Middle Oconee River. Purchased by Charles Rowland II in 1910, Beech Haven is now surrounded by suburban development, but remains a secluded natural sanctuary, essentially unchanged since the 1930's. The site has a long history as an important social and religious gathering place in Athens. On this field trip we'll trace the fascinating history of this place and explore its future. Please note: The field trip requires hiking about 2 miles round-trip on unmaintained gravel roads and trails.
