The Columbus Museum - Columbus, Georgia - Aerial View
This video was filmed with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter on May 24, 2015.
Founded in 1953, the Columbus Museum is one of the largest museums in the Southeast and is unique for its dual concentration on American art and regional history, displayed in its permanent collection, temporary exhibitions, and educational programs.
When noted Columbus industrialist W.C. Bradley died in 1947, his family donated his 13-acre estate to the city of Columbus to be used as a center of culture and education. Located in the heart of the Wynnton neighborhood in a 1912 Mediterranean Revival house, the Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts opened its doors to the public on March 29, 1953. Director Edward Swift Shorter quickly launched an ambitious schedule, including lectures and classes related to the Museum’s exhibitions of fine art and American Indian archaeological artifacts. As the institution grew, its name became shorter (now just the Columbus Museum), and its collecting focus changed to include American art in all mediums and artifacts that tell the story of human habitation in the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley.
In April 1989, a major expansion of the Museum resulted in the creation of an architecturally stunning, world-class facility. Still incorporating the original Bradley home, the Museum is now 89,000 square feet, including an interactive children’s gallery, a 300-seat auditorium, and a large atrium for special events. Galleries showcase both permanent and temporary exhibitions on regional history and American art, while a multimedia theater offers a film exploring the history and culture of the Chattahoochee Valley. Visitors can also enjoy the Bradley Olmsted Garden, designed in the 1920s by the Olmsted Brothers firm, founded by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
Today, the Columbus Museum’s dedicated board and staff continue its legacy as a cultural center. In partnership with the Muscogee County School District, the Museum seeks to educate and inspire with a variety of exhibitions and programs, matching its slogan: “Always changing, always free.”

Flat Rock Park - Columbus, Georgia
This video was made in 2014, 2015, and May 2016. It was made from aerial footage from both a Phantom 2 Vision Plus and a Phantom 3 Professional quadcopter.
This video is primarily of the then entry to the park where water flows over the rocks. This is a small area of a much larger park. The water flow today is much reduced from that of a few decades ago. I suppose adjacent development has been primarily responsible.
Kids love to slide down the many rocks of Flat Rock park. One area in particular is a lot of fun. But be careful because the rocks are slippery and people do get hurt. The park also offers several pavilions for picnic or large gatherings. There are also mountain bike trails and the park links up to the Fall Line Trace (Rails to Trails) in the back. There are several playgrounds of different sizes on the large site. Restrooms are also available.
Flat Rock Park provides guests with access to a walking trail, playgrounds, picnic areas, grills, and covered eating areas. Friendship Hall is available for rental. Contact Park Services for more information.
