UGA's iconic North Campus features buildings and spaces–many more than a century old–that are architecturally diverse, aesthetically charming, and rich in history, lore, and legend. Attendees will get a close-up look at these landmarks on a walking tour starting at the Arch and covering much of the North Campus area. We will visit the oldest building in Athens; the beautiful UGA Chapel; the site of the first murder on campus; the charming Founders Memorial Garden; and the field where the first college football game in Georgia was played. The tour will last 90 minutes, entails walking the entire time and climbing up and down steps and on moderate inclines.
