The Biblical History Center in LaGrange, GA (formerly called Explorations in Antiquity) is a great way to learn about the culture and history of the Bible. Started in 2006, the nonprofit museum has 23 life-size replicas of items found in the ancient world, like tombs and goat hair tents, and 250 artifacts. Learn about various religions and how they worship while touring the grounds of the center and talking with costumed tour guides.

Archaeological Replica Garden Tour

Each of these programs provide a personal look at the ancient world and the people who lived during that time period. Some of them are private, while others can be done without a guide.

"The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tours and artifacts were absolutely amazing. We participated in the Biblical meal and we visited during the Christmas live nativity experience, including animals (sheep, goats, donkey, camel...). The meal is a must! We learned so much as we heard about the symbolic significance of the various foods and Biblical stories. I definitely recommend this fascinating Biblical Center and I plan to go again to hear more about the various historical events."
