GeorgiaThe Biblical History Center in LaGrange, formerly known as the Explorations in Antiquity Center, is an outdoor archaeological museum that recreates the daily life of the ancient Near East. Visitors walk through full-scale reconstructions including a goat-hair shepherd's tent, a first-century village with a city gate, and replica tombs modeled on those associated with the biblical patriarchs and with Jesus. An indoor gallery displays roughly 250 antiquities on long-term loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority, spanning Old and New Testament periods, and the center is often described as the only museum of its kind in the Southeast. The site also offers biblical-style meals and hands-on interpretive programs designed to make the archaeology of the region tangible.
