The Georgia Trust Arabia Mountain Expedition and Bike Tour Challenge

You’ve  been to Stone Mountain, now explore Arabia Mountain!  Join us as we ramble  through Lithonia and the surrounding Arabia Mountain Heritage Area during our  Arabia Mountain Expedition.  Tour the  homesteads of some of the area’s earliest settlers, discover relics of the  granite quarrying industry while exploring the mountain, and learn about the area’s  historically African American community of Flat Rock.


Lunch will be served at the extraordinary  Monastery of the Holy Spirit, where you’ll experience the new Monastic Heritage  Center, tour the Abbey and visit the bonsai nursery.  Spend the day with us just 20 miles east of  Atlanta and see where preservation, conservation, and sustainability meet.

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
