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 and Stephens County Historical Society are inside the Toccoa depot, which is devoted to the WWII paratroopers soldiers who trained at Camp Toccoa. Learn about interesting and colorful hometown folks including Olympian Paul Anderson, world record holder for the "Strongest Man." 

Enjoy the outdoors while visiting Toccoa Falls, family-owned Currahee Vineyard, the nature trail and covered bridge at Henderson Falls Park, the gardens at Paul Anderson Park or the historical structures at Traveler's Rest State Historic Site. Toccoa Falls is one of the area's most popular and peaceful attractions, with a picturesque 186-foot-high cascade. 

The city also boasts a stellar art scene, especially for such a small town, with the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra, Historic Ritz Theatre and several arts shows and festivals throughout the year.
