Welcome to Oak Hill and the Martha Berry Museum, one of the finest attractions in Georgia. Oak Hill and the Martha Berry Museum opened in 1972 as a historic house and history museum. Our mission is to tell the story of Martha Berry and Berry College through exhibits, events, and educational programming.
The tour begins at the Martha Berry Museum where guests can tour the permanent exhibit that traces the evolution of the Berry Schools into Berry College. The Martha Berry Museum also includes an art gallery and temporary exhibits.
Oak Hill is the Greek revival home of Martha Berry, founder of Berry College. Visitors receive a guided tour of the dwelling led by Berry College students. Guests may also tour the home's three outbuildings, as well as Oak Hill's gardens.
The facilities and grounds are open to the public from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. However, we are closed for major holidays and the Saturday preceding Monday holidays. Check the campus calendar for exact dates of closure.
