Description: Life University is located in Marietta, a suburb just north of Atlanta off I-75. On the campus there is a wonderfully maintained 19th century village complete with a log house and tobacco barn. This village is opened to the public every day from 8 AM to 5 PM, and weekdays will often find school children touring the facilities. This is an absolutely marvelous place to go for an afternoon picnic with the family. There are picnic tables scattered all around the grounds for your convenience, and children will greatly enjoy wandering through the village. There are several animals behind fences for them to see, too. My favorites are the roosters who strut around in their boxes and crow for anyone who will take a moment to speak with them.
Free tours of the village are also available on Saturdays and Sundays so that kids and adults alike will understand what life was truly like in the 1800s. For tour information, call 800-543-3398 or 770-426-2601.
