We completely enjoyed our visit. The staff are very friendly and full of information. The displays are fascinating. I especially enjoyed the adapted wheel chairs and cane collection. The house itself is very well preserved. Relaxing and worthwhile.

We have so much fun here - this is the best place in Georgia! The park is very well-maintained, the animals are happy and well fed. :). It is such a great place to interact with animals in a secure environment. So different from a zoo. It's become a holiday tradition, can't wait to go back!

Hills & Dales Estate

Hills & Dales Estate is the historic home and garden of textile magnate Fuller E. Callaway. Located in LaGrange, Georgia. The centerpiece of the estate is a beautiful Georgian-Italian style home built in 1916. Designed by the noted architectural firm of Hentz & Reid it is one of the finest homes built toward the end of the country house era. The home was occupied by two generations of the Callaway family and contains all of the families' original furnishings. Formal gardens surrounding the home and were created by the original owner of the property, Sarah Coleman Ferrell prior to the Civil War. Within the gardens visitors will see many of Sarah's religiously inspired planting including a large planting of the word "God" and her personal motto "God is Love." The extensive formal boxwood garden also feature an herb garden, greenhouse, fountains and garden sculpture. The 35-acre estate, complemented by a Visitor Center containing family artifacts and displays, opened to the public in 2004. In May of 2010 twenty additional rooms on the second and third floor of the home opened for tours.

I had the pleasure of touring Hills and Dales all dressed up for the holidays with fresh flowers and greenery and even old-fashioned icicles on the elaborate Christmas tree in the main room -- reminiscent of the way it might have looked when past owners resided there. All the rooms are being kept in pristine condition, as well as the extensive gardens outside. Start your tour at the first-class Visitors Center and come back to make a purchase at the Gift Shop. The gardens are planned to be beautiful in every season.

Downtown Newnan

There are few places in the United States that have retained their link to the past as Coweta County and Newnan, Georgia have. From the settlement of the town in 1828 to the new millennium, Newnan has kept the heart of Coweta beating with a firm grasp on its rich and colorful history, while looking forward and embracing the future.

LOVED this charming, historic town. If you visit here, BE SURE to go by the old courthouse (now visitor center) and get a walking map of the historic homes (the several blocks of gorgeous Victorian homes are within walking distance of the courthouse). The gentleman in the visitor center was SO nice and helpful and welcoming to the town - EXACTLY what you would expect in the South (people are just nicer here!). The homes are gorgeous and privately owned and will take your breath away. It's a fun, free thing to do in this wonderful town of Newnan.

There is a lot of debate on here about whether this is worth the money. Our take on it was that we are big TWD fans and we were willing to splurge while on vacation. We were not disappointed. We called to ask about a private tour on the day we were scheduled to arrive in Georgia. We were driving from Nashville and there was no way we were going to arrive before 5:30pm on a Sunday and were worried we would miss our chance to see Morgan's apartment.

Mary answered the after-hours number posted on their Facebook page and said she was always happy to accommodate fans and was thankful for our support of the town. She told us to give her 1/2 hour notice of our arrival and she would meet us. And she did! We had a bit of an abbreviated private tour and she did not charge us full price. She was SO ACCOMMODATING! Interesting town, and Mary had a lot of insight about the filming. She had great stories and was really engaged with all of us. We were not disappointed.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park

Reviewed By rivrman - Newnan, Ga.

I am a frequent visitor to the park. Primarily I enjoy the nice picnic, camping, hiking and boat launch facilities. The newest state park in Georgia it has miles of hiking trails, mtn bike trails that are maintained thanks to an active Friends of the Bend volunteer organization. Tent platforms, RV hookups, nice restroom facilities are all available. Kayak rentals are offered through the park office. Soon to add cabins and a lodge. Birders and wild life viewers will enjoy the abundance of species to be found. Fishing access can be had at various points along the river or boats can be launched for fishing. When upper boat launch is improved this will provide easy access within the park for a 3-4 mile float. Really hope you will support CHBP.

Bellevue is a gorgeous house in great shape since it's as old as the antebellum period. The tour guides are friendly and really know the place. Admission is also really cheap and worth the tour.

Biblical History Center

Please know that we have recently changed the name of our museum to BIBLICAL HISTORY CENTER. We wanted a clearer name to depict who we are and what exactly we do. Nothing else about the museum has changed aside from our name. We are currently in the process of switching over the TripAdivsor page information. Please bare with us as we make that transition.** Our mission at the Biblical History Center is to help people experience the ancient biblical world, its history, and culture. We have an Archaeological Replica Garden with life-size replicas of archaeological digs including a typical house, Roman step theater, goat hair tent, tombs, and more. Our Biblical Life Artifacts Gallery houses 250 artifacts from Israel and is one of seven of its kind in the world! We also have fun activities available for kids and teens. Reservations are required for most activities.

Have enjoyed access to great events, plays, and concerts; as well as, HS chorus programs.
The venue is large enough to draw talent and enjoyable programs from within and without our community...yet small enough to navigate with ease for the older folk in the family as well as other individuals with limitations in walking.
Seating is comfortable, and the slope of the auditorium provides a good view of the stage for all.
The buildings are beautiful and well maintained. The Centre for Performing Arts (The Nixon Centre) has been a great addition to our community.
