But fewer people know Athens also has a tree that went to space.

During the Apollo missions, an astronaut carried hundreds of tree seeds with him as he orbited the moon. When those seeds came back to Earth, they were planted all over the country and became known as “Moon Trees.”

One of them made its way right here to Athens.

It’s one of those little pieces of local history hiding in plain sight, a reminder that this town has more than just its famous landmarks. Sometimes the coolest stories are the ones you’ve walked past a hundred times without realizing it.

Know a piece of Athens history like this one? Drop it in the comments, I’d love to hear it. And if you’re ever curious what else makes this town special (or thinking about a move here), I’m always happy to chat.

Come see us this Sunday!

We’re hosting an open house from 2 to 4 PM at this charming craftsman in Athens’ Oak Grove neighborhood. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 2,567 square feet, with big porches and plantings that make you want to sit a while.

If you’ve been thinking about a move in Athens, or know someone who has, I’d love to see you there. Call or text 706-255-6160 with questions, or just stop by Sunday afternoon.

5 things happening around Athens this July 👇
First, Athens Restaurant Week runs July 13th through 19th, with restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and dessert spots all over town offering special menus and deals. It’s one of the best weeks of the year to try somewhere new in Athens.

Second, the Sunflower Concert Series is back at the State Botanical Garden. Every Tuesday evening through September, people bring chairs, blankets, and picnic dinners for live music surrounded by the gardens.

Third, Peter Buck of R.E.M. is playing an intimate show at the Rialto Club inside Hotel Indigo on July 9th. R.E.M. started right here in Athens, and the fact that artists like that still come back to play small rooms here says a lot about this town.

And fourth, Mayor Girtz’s 2026 State of the Community Address included a major growth note: UGA plans to add around 600 students per year. That matters for housing, traffic, infrastructure, and redevelopment — especially for anyone thinking about moving to Athens or investing here.
Athens has a lot going on this summer — and these are a few stories worth keeping an eye on.
