Why Camp Near Brookhaven?
Things to Do Near Brookhaven, Georgia
Brookhaven centers around Oglethorpe University's 100-acre Gothic-style campus, a spot so photogenic it's been compared to the set of "Dead Poets Society." The Oglethorpe University Museum of Art offers free admission to a genuinely notable collection spanning ancient to modern work, and the campus's Crypt of Civilization holds the distinction of being the first and most complete time capsule ever created. Outside the university, Murphey Candler Park's 135 acres cover fishing, playgrounds, and walking trails around a lake, Blackburn Park hosts the annual Cherry Blossom Festival each spring, and Town Brookhaven's shops, restaurants, and movie theater give the city a modern retail center to match its historic core.
