Johns Creek has announced the re-opening after renovations of the Farm Museum at the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve.
The museum displays, interprets and preserves farm implements and artifacts indigenous to Johns Creek, officials said. Artifacts include a doctor’s buggy used by local physicians to make house calls.
The City Council awarded a $112,344 contract earlier this year to Peachtree Construction Services to restore the museum. The 781-square-foot structure received a new heating and cooling system; new, specially designed barn doors; a new metal roof, and new interior lighting, among other improvement.
The museum restoration had been identified as the highest-priority project by the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve Association, the nonprofit that maintains the city-owned property at 9770 Autrey Mill Road. Information: www.AutreyMill.org
