Toccoa

The small city of Toccoa lies among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northeast Georgia. Toccoa offers more than 75 national and local stores, an award-winning downtown, and suburban shopping centers. On Main Street, explore specialty shops, wander through the art galleries, and tour the renovated courthouse. The Currahee Military Museum inside the Toccoa depot is devoted to the soldiers who trained at Camp Toccoa. The Stephens County Historical Museum offers a glimpse into the area's past which is full of interesting and colorful hometown folks including Olympian Paul Anderson, world record holder for the "Strongest Man." While in Toccoa, stop in one of the restaurants, one of which was highlighted on Food Network's Alton Brown's "Feasting on Asphalt" show. Enjoy the outdoors while visiting Toccoa Falls, Currahee Vineyards, Henderson Falls Park, Paul Anderson Park or Traveler's Rest State Historic site.
