While you're in Athens, don't miss the chance to get some of the World’s Best Ice Cream! Mayfield Dairy Farms offers guided tours on Friday, April 17th, from 10 AM to 3 PM—a fun and nostalgic behind-the-scenes look at how their famous ice cream is made. If you're around on Saturday, April 18th, you can still stop by to enjoy a scoop (or two!) from the Ice Cream Parlor and browse the Gift Shop, though tours won't be running that day.
While you're in town for our special day, take a step back in time at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum! Discover the rich history, charm, and culture of East Tennessee—just a short stroll from the heart of Athens.
