2010 Events and Special Exhibits
In 2010 we’re proud to be providing new, and unusual, ways for the community to experience Autrey Mill. It’s an exciting endeavor to encourage visitors to Autrey Mill, to promote local talent, and to bring cultural and educational opportunities to the Johns Creek area.
Events are hosted throughout the Nature Preserve and Heritage Village and include photo exhibits, theater performances, festivals, animal exhibits, celebrations of local heritage and the natural environment, and much more.
Take a look at our events for 2010, then come on over to the Mill and experience it in new ways!

Autrey Mill is getting famous!
Look in the Autumn 2009 issue of Georgia Back Roads magazine and you'll find "Relics of a Country Crossroads Community" by Walter Lawrence - a three-page article about the history preserved at our own Autrey Mill Nature Preserve & Heritage Center!
In November 2009, the Miami Herald Newspaper highlighted Autrey Mill in their travel article about things to do and see with children when visiting Atlanta.
Autrey Mill is partnering with other Johns Creek non-profit organizations
Autrey Mill is proud to be part of the Arts Alliance of Johns Creek founding committee. This alliance will be a non-profit partnership of individual artists, arts organizations, educational institutions and other entities whose mission is to promote the visual, literary and performing arts in order to enhance the quality of life within the greater Johns Creek area.
With this alliance we hope to increase the public's awareness of these organizations and encourage participation in their services. This alliance will also offer opportunities to combine the various art forms with the natural environment and history to create exciting cultural entertainment and learning experiences.
