If you love to visit the country parts of Georgia, I have the perfect itinerary for you! Country general stores in Georgia are often national historical places and some of them are still running.
I promise, these 10 country general stores will leave you feeling nostalgic:
- Raines Station in rural Crisp County, GA

- Covered Bridge General Store in Euharlee, GA

- Bradford’s General Store in Pine Log, GA (Bartow County)
Jimmy Emerson, DVM via Flickr When the photographer shot this photo, the store was actually open! If you ever want to visit, this quaint little general store is still in operation. It was originally opened in 1904!
- Mill Creek General Store in Rocky Face, GA
Jimmy Emerson, DVM via Flickr Unfortunately this store is now closed, but it is still a part of Georgia’s history. It was built in 1912.
- Dawnville Georgia General Store (location unknown)
Jimmy Emerson, DVM via Flickr This site is supposedly listed on the national list of historical places, but anything other than that is unknown.
- Cline’s General Store in Waleska, GA
Jimmy Emerson, DVM via Flickr This old general store still runs on Saturdays “til cooler weather comes in,” as quoted from their Facebook page.
- Old Sautee Store in Sautee Nacooche, GA
Jimmy Emerson, DVM via Flickr This cute general store is a mix between a Scandinavian specialty shop and a country store museum. This store has stood the test of time, as it was built in 1872 and served as a post office until 1962. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Country Store of Seven Springs in Powder Springs, GA

- Dahlonega General Store in Dahlonega, GA
Ashe via Flickr This store will definitely leave you nostalgic with its antiques and collectibles. Pictured here is the honor system coffee, where guests put 5 cents in the jar for a cup of coffee. Looks like a lot of people paid up!
