Visit Autrey Mill

Located on 46 acres of ravine forest and historic past, this nature preserve's two miles of walking trails wind past a scenic creek with rocky shoals, spring seeps, mature trees, wildflowers, native plants, and a variety of animal life.

A Heritage Village has been created with four buildings original to the site and four landmark structures moved from nearby properties. This village and its related exhibit pieces provide an understanding of this area's proud rural heritage from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s.

Replica Native American dwellings are nestled in the woods to remind us of those who walked these forests before us and to teach the lessons of a culture that respected and carefully cared for the environment.

Our Visitor Center houses animal exhibits of turtles, frogs, snakes, and insects and dioramas of native mammals and birds.

Grounds are open every day from 8am to dusk.

The Visitor Center is open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm

There is no charge for entrance to the grounds and Visitor Center.

Judge sends parties back to negotiation

City of Johns Creek Lawsuit against the non-profit Autrey Mill Nature Preserve Association

Latest Status: On December 14, 2009, Judge Glanville heard oral arguments from attorneys for the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve and the City of Johns Creek after which he announced he would defer ruling on the motions for summary judgment until February 15, 2010 so that the parties have an opportunity to negotiate an agreement.

Public support is still important. Thank you to all those who have signed the petition in support of the non-profit Autrey Mill Nature Preserve organization. Your signatures and insightful comments continue to bolster our morale and send a strong message of community sentiment to the City.
