Celebrate the Lunar New Year at the Atlanta History Center
Sunday, January 25, 2009 1 PM - 5 PM
Lunar New Year is one of the most celebrated holidays among Asian cultures. It is a time for new beginnings, festive family gatherings, ornate delicacies, and memory making. Enjoy a program of traditional music, dance, and other activities while meeting new people and learning the history and traditions of this lively and colorful celebration. This program is free to members; included in the cost of general admission for nonmembers.
Outdoor Activity
Pine Mountain Trail
The Pine Mountain Trail, a 23 mile footpath that crosses and follows the beautiful Pine Mountain ridge, offers clear crisp views of distant ridges in winter, with occasional snowfall, to the lush greens of summer ferns and foliage of lowland flora. Wildflowers are abundant and spring brings flowering dogwood, native azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron. You may also find a stand of rare American chestnut trees thought to be extinct. The American Chestnut Foundation is working to bring back these trees by hybridizing them with the smaller Chinese Chestnut.
Family Fun or Festival
