Greenville

Historic downtown Greenville, Georgia, is experiencing a resurgence with new businesses, restaurants, and art galleries occupying refurbished spaces. It's a great place to spend the day strolling around town or on a self-guided driving tour. Greenville is also the perfect home base for exploring the nearby towns of Gay, Lone Oak, Luthersville, Manchester, Warm Springs, and Woodbury.

Regional attractions include a covered bridge built by a freed slave, the Little White House built for Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a variety of outdoor pursuits like camping, hiking, biking and fishing. 

The Meriwether County courthouse in Greenville was constructed around 1903 and burned in 1976. The first courthouse in Meriwether County was destroyed in 1893 by a cyclone.

Greenville, the county seat of Meriwether County in Georgia, became a city on December 20, 1828, and is named in honor of Revolutionary War hero General Nathaniel Greene.
