FAX: (478) 445-1426

DIRECTIONS: On Carl Vinson Road between Vinson Highway (GA 112) and US 441.  If traveling south from Milledgeville on US441, turn left on Carl Vinon Road (there's a large elementary school on the southeast corner of the intersection).  About 3 miles south of Milledgeville

Permanent outdoor //  11-circuit Chartres style
~125' in diameter (1/2 mile from entrance to center) // Stone and poplar bark
The entrance to the labyrinth is from the east.  Since the time the photo below was taken, small ornamental trees have been planted around the labyrinth at the tips of the Chartres' internal 13-pointed geometric star.

The Union-Recorder of Milledgeville (local newspaper) did an article covering the creation and dedication of this labyrinth in October, 2002.  Unfortuately, the link I had to this article at the paper is no longer viable.
