This Vineyard is a little off the beaten path but it is worth the drive and I would recommend allowing a couple of hours for this delightful treat. The scenery is beautiful - the wine is delicious - and Marvin and Tom are great! We loved our time spent here - we felt right at home. The one thing I noticed after a day of touring wineries - all of the wineries that we stopped at during our trip - was serving Currahee Wine! Duh -- because it is so delicious. One of our Favorites!
2. Toccoa Falls

Very close to the main routes to the Smokeys (7 miles from the main drag). Check hours on web page. $2 fee (dog was free--and welcomed!). Walk to the falls is a short, wide gravel trail, not to steep. Places to rest are aviable to set and take in the rushing stream. Falls is breathtaking!!! Memorial stone is a sobering reminder of the 1977 dam break that almost washed the university away, injuring 60 and killing 39, many of them children. Purchase "Dam Break in Georgia" from the gift shop to read the sobering account of the accident and the uplifting stories of survivial. Will stop there again.

History of 501st, 506th, 511th and 517th Paratrooper Infantry Regiments is on display for visitors seven days a week.

My wife and I are Band of Brothers fanatics and finally made the pilgrimage to Toccoa/Currahee. It was so humbling to see the many Easy Company displays, highlighted by the magnificent rebuilt horse stable/housing unit. To see and read a letter from Bull Randleman's mother that was found in the walls is just fantastic. There are other displays for other local and regional items that are interesting as well, but if you are a BoB devotee, I highly recommend this museum. Friendly folks working there, too.

learned about Paul Anderson while touring the Currahee Museum and saw the exhibits on local history. Drove the short distance to the park after the museum. Small and quiet with parking across the street.

My husband and I have wanted to go to this spot for a couple of years. It is only open on the weekends, but we recommend going. We enjoyed watching the short video and learn about this historic home. Exploring the whole attraction took an hour.
