Traditions Highway 15: Greensboro

Southern charm and small-town service with a smile await you in this Traditions Highway community. Conveniently nestled between Atlanta and Augusta, the City of Greensboro has so many hidden treasures just waiting for you to explore! Take a break from big city life and stay awhile in “Lake Oconee’s Hometown.”

Start your trip off by exploring all that Downtown Greensboro has to offer! Snap a selfie at the Instagram-worthy “Welcome to Greensboro” wall mural located in the heart of downtown, then, let’s shop! There are so many places to shop local along Main Street, like Genuine Georgia, an artisan marketplace featuring creations exclusively by Georgia artists, and Greensboro’s Antique Mall with 11,000 square feet of treasures located inside the historic JH McCommons building. After shopping, enjoy a meal of traditional Mexican dishes at Los Torres Mexican Grill. If you have a sweet tooth, then Bonnie’s Coffee Shop & More is your place! Stop by for desserts, coffee, and ice-cream.

History buffs can visit The Old Gaol, believed to be Georgia's oldest masonry jail, or enjoy the self-guided solar box history tour with stops including The Courthouse, LL Wyatt Jail, Historic Springfield Church, and many others. Brochures for these activities can be found with the local merchants. For a refreshing break, head to Oconee Brewing Company, where you can relax with some of Georgia’s finest craft beers in a 6,000-square-foot former mill warehouse.

During your visit, check out what’s happening at Festival Hall, Greensboro’s performing arts center, or the luxurious Ritz-Carlton at Lake Oconee, offering golfing, spa treatments, and lake activities just minutes from downtown.

Greensboro invites you to enjoy its quaint charm, rich history, and relaxing atmosphere, ensuring you'll leave with an appreciation for life at a slower pace.
