UGA is Claire's alma mater and the home of the Dawgs. Visit Sanford Stadium, Demosthenian Literary Society, and the fountain on Herty field, but don't walk through the arch or you'll never graduate!

Tree That Owns Itself

One of Athens's most precious landmarks, the Tree that Owns Itself is just as it sounds - a tree that owns property.

The Botanical Garden is the venue for our reception, and it is a wonderful place for a stroll. There's a terrific children's garden and miles of walking trails, as well as manicured garden spaces and a green house.

The Iron Horse

This is a little out of town, but might be a fun stop for our friends coming from the Aiken area! The Iron Horse is a cultural landmark and one of Claire's favorite Athens stories. Good for stargazing or a picnic.
