Mission Statement

The Explorations in Antiquity Center is an interfaith museum of daily life in antiquity committed to making history come alive through meaningful interaction of its visitors with full-scale archaeological reconstructions of discoveries from the ancient world.

About Our Founder, Dr. James Fleming

James W. “Jim” Fleming, Ed. D., is a fountain of knowledge, flowing as sure and steady as the Jordan River. Unbridled passion for his work is evident in all he says and in all he does, as he leads visitors through ancient scenes recreated at the Explorations in Antiquity Center. West central Georgia may bear little resemblance to ancient Israel, but the meaning of biblical antiquity comes to life here, under the watchful eye of Dr. Fleming.
