At the park you’ll find play structures, walking trails, historic buildings and more. The fantastic museum showcases military vehicles, uniforms, and artifacts.
SOUTHERN BELLE FARM
This adorable 330-acre farm is a great activity in fall, spring and summer. Spring is my favorite, when they offer fresh u-pick strawberries along with homemade strawberry ice cream.
The most popular stop along the trail is Floyd Chapel Baptist Church where Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. worshiped as a child. He was ordained and preached his first sermon here.
Follow the Bushy Tail Art Trail to find tiny squirrel dining spots scattered around Henry County as a public art display - fun for all ages. Tag #BetterExplored in your photos!
