Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

One of my favorite things about the Peach State is how historic the state is. You can find so much to learn about here, with colonial-era history, tons of old buildings, and even ancient Native American mounds in Georgia. It can feel like no matter where you are in the state, you’re able to find history museums or historical sites to explore. However, some cities have more history to discover than others, and if you’re looking for one of the most historic towns in Georgia, you’ll find it in Adairsville. This little city of around 5,000 lies about halfway between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and it’s got so much to see and do, despite having a small population. It’s a charming place for a day trip or weekend getaway. Check this little city out:
Adairsville has an area of about nine square miles. The closest large cities are Calhoun and Rome, and it's about 60 miles north of Atlanta.
The Adairsville Welcome Center is tucked away in an old train depot.
