Regularly scheduled programs include Feeding Fridays for a hands-on opportunity to feed snakes, turtles, frogs, rabbits, ducks and chickens. Plus, any time Autrey Mill is open, visitors can participate in a painted Rock Art Community Sculpture.

Additional children’s programs and summer camps are also on the calendar. Details: www.autreymill.org or 678-366-3511.
