A
If you’re tired of the big city pace and noise, relax yourself by taking a day or a weekend to explore one of these four Georgia small towns:
Senoia
About 45 miles from Atlanta, if you want to visit the classic small town, Senoia is the best choice. Built in 1866 as a railroad town, its picturesque perfection has been filmed for the movies like Fried Green Tomatoes.
Hartwell
109 miles from Atlanta. Named for Nancy Hart, a heroine of the Revolutionary War who served as a spy and captured a group of Tories who threatened her home, Hartwell is known as the “Best city by a Dam Site”.
Tiger
105 miles from Atlanta in northeast Georgia, this small mountain community sits at the base of 2, 856-foot Tiger Mountain, and you can drive Old U. S. 441 right through the town and into the countryside any season of the year. The tiny town itself boasts the Tiger Drive-In.
Another attraction is the Tiger Mountain Winery, operating from the site of a five-generation old family farm and winner of three 2017 silver medals in the Los Angeles Wine Competition. Its tasting room is open daily.
Tallulah Falls
About 96 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Near the Tallulah River and named for the five falls that flow downward very fast through the gorge, Tallulah Falls had a population of just 168 at the 2010 census.
It’s a fine spot for fishing and picnicking near the town’s three lakes, swimming at the Georgia Power Company’s Terrora Beach. Come Saturday night in spring, summer and folk stay for live Bluegrass bands on Bluegrass Square in downtown Tallulah Falls. You can even bring your own instrument and join in.
