Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum will reopen Monday
♦ Tickets must be reserved in advance due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum will reopen starting Monday, June 29.
To keep patrons safe, the museum will operate with reservation-only tours. Before coming to the museum, visitors must reserve their spot online . For questions about making a reservation, call 706-368-6789.
Museum Curator Rachel Mclucas said she is looking forward to welcoming visitors back.
“This will be a new experience for us as we adjust to the new COVID-19 guidelines. We have missed sharing the inspiring story of Martha Berry’s life and impact on Georgia,” Mclucas said.
After reserving tickets, visitors will receive instructions for conducting an at-home health screening. If they are unwell on the day of their tour, the museum staff asks that they stay home. Visitors will also go through a verification health screening as a part of their check-in at the museum.
Mclucas said that, while on the Oak Hill property, visitors should maintain a social distance of 6 feet with anyone outside of their party, and masks are required inside all buildings. If a visitor does not have a mask, the Oak Hill staff will provide one upon entry.
Tours are offered Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and are limited to six people each to allow for social distancing. Docents will guide groups through Oak Hill and Aunt Martha’s Cottage, after which, visitors may take a self-guided tour of the Carriage House and the Oak Hill Gardens.
