Small towns in Georgia are practically the bread and butter of this state’s charm. While major cities are unique unto their own, it really is the small towns that pull this state together to make it as Southernly-delightful as it is. We’ve posted before our ultimate small town Georgia road trip, which will take a weekend in itself. But there is one small town in Georgia, a quaint one full of history and charm that is impossible to drive through without stopping. Check it out.
Toccoa, Georgia is considered “The Heart of Northeast Georgia”.
