The Lyndon House Arts Center brings contemporary creativity and Athens' history together. Visitors can explore gallery exhibitions and the restored Ware-Lyndon House, where the interpretive exhibits share the stories of people who were enslaved there and their descendants. There are surrounding galleries that spotlight local and regional artists. The Ware-Lyndon House was built around 1850, and it is the last surviving home from the former Lickskillet neighborhood.
The Ware-Lyndon House is open for self-guided experience Tuesday–Saturday from 10 AM– 5 PM. Audio guides can be heard by scanning the QR codes posted on the walls throughout the house. All exhibitions and programs are free of charge and open to the public. Please enter and exit the building through the main Arts Center entrance near the parking lot. The front and side entrances of the Historic Ware-Lyndon House is always locked.
Please be advised that the Resilient Civic and Musical Life exhibition is immersive and uses language that might be disturbing to visitors. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Parents and guardians may want to preview.
