The big cities in Georgia are not the only places that have amazing Georgia attractions! Many of our state’s gems can actually be found in our small towns and cities.
What you’ll find in these 8 small towns may surprise you…
- Rock City, GA
Ronnie via Flickr Rock City is actually a pretty well known major tourist attraction in Georgia. It is located on Lookout Mountain, where Lover’s Leap can be found. It’s also near Ruby Falls. (It is said that a person can see seven states from Lover’s Leap!)
- Columbus, GA
The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center via Flickr Columbus is home to the National Infantry Museum, which is located just outside of Fort Benning. This museum details the history of the U.S. infantryman from the American Revolution all the way to the war in Afghanistan. This great attraction is actually one of Georgia’s free museums.
- Elberton, GA
Counse via Flickr The Georgia Guidestones are often called the “American Stonehedge,” and are located in the small city of Elberton. It was created in the 1970s by unknown persons and has several languages inscribed on, in addition to a few ancient languages.
- Warm Springs, GA
rjcox via Flickr The Little White House was once the favorite place of the late President Roosevelt. He loved the warm springs near this home as it soothed his polio symptoms. People come from all around just to see this little house in a city with less than 500 residents.
- Pine Mountain, GA

- Towns, GA

- Turnerville, GA
Dianne Frost via Flickr Big Panther Creek Falls is just one of many gorgeous waterfalls in Georgia. Waterfalls like these are usually found in the most remote places in Georgia.
- Tugaloo, GA
