When you’re in this Georgia city, you’ll get to experience a hospitable community. Be welcomed with open arms at one of the many outdoor events held on Main Street. Tucker Day celebration, for example, is an annual event held since the 1950s that runs the length of Main Street with local vendors, artists, musicians and merchants. Literally get a taste of the city at the Taste of Tucker and Tucker Chili Cook-Off too! Breathe in some fresh air while enjoying your beautiful historic surroundings at Henderson Park or the Tucker Nature Preserve. Located adjacent to the children’s playground in Henderson Park is Lake Erin, a great lake for fishing, kayaking and more. There are also nature trails around the lake and a longer tail that connects the park from one end to the other.
If you’d rather move on wheels, there’s a mountain biking beginner trail that goes through a wooded area of the park where you can stop to bird watch! Not far from Tucker City Center is Stone Mountain Park, Georgia’s number one attraction. Stone Mountain Park is 3,200 acres of natural land and theme park that is also home to the world’s largest piece of exposed granite. Trek just a couple miles further to Atlanta, GA and you’ll find the Michael C. Carlos Museum and the Fernbank Science Center. The museum at Emory University not only serves students and scholars but also history buffs, art lovers and tourists like you. View major international exhibits ranging from Egyptian, Eastern, Classical, ancient American and Asian art to other important body of works of art from the Renaissance to the present. The Fernbank Science Center also has neat exhibits including a planetarium, and events that change week to week!
