Published on: 06/23/08

There are only 97 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day. So little time, so much out there to do. Every day between the sunny holidays, the Living section is offering a daily tip —- something fun, frivolous or funky (and maybe even free) to do.

See the South in 19th-century setting

Step into metro Atlanta's past with a visit to a historic 1839 Greek Revival Antebellum plantation home. Stately Oaks in Jonesboro is a restored house with original log kitchen and other historic outbuildings. Docents in period costumes provide guided tours depicting the rural South during the mid-1800s. Open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday and most Saturdays (to check, call 770-473-0197). Cost: $12, adults; $6, kids 5-11; $9, seniors. The home is at 100 Carriage Lane at Jodeco Road. More information at www.historicaljonesboro.org.
