ABOUT THE LOCATION: Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center -- 98 Foxfire Lane, Mountain City, GA, 30562
Foxfire is situated on roughly 110 acres, with an interpretive trail connecting to Black Rock Mountain State Park, which includes three mountain springs with waterfalls. Students will have a chance to explore these features and learn about mountain ecology and local habitats. On these hikes, students might see several species of birds, find salamanders in their cool homes, or collect native wildflowers. Encourage your child to unplug this summer and engage in hands-on activities; it’s sure to be a learning experience they’ll never forget!
