Just released today. "Miles Through Time" Museum Brings The Fun To Clarksville
Are you looking for a fun afternoon getaway from Atlanta? Then, you should add the “Miles Through Time” museum to your shortlist of fun possibilities.
Located about 85 miles from Atlanta, this 10,000 sq ft museum currently houses roughly 40 full-size vehicles plus vintage bicycles and pedal cars. There is also a full-sized wooden car, a train, and over 1,500 model cars on display for good measure.
The museum resides inside the 70,000 sq ft Clarkesville textile mill. This automotive collection is noteworthy because it is a “living” co-op-style history museum.
The exhibit is not the result of one person’s lifetime of passionate automotive collecting. Instead, it is a cooperative collection of dozens of supporters with some pieces over 100 years old.
As a bonus, the former Mill also houses one of the largest indoor antique malls in Georgia.
The 5th annual cruise-in planned for June 26th provided the perfect excuse to head north up 1-985 to Clarkesville to see what “Miles Through Time” offers.
Here's our experience.
