The Peach State is huge, but if you’ve spent most of your life here, it can sometimes feel like you’ve seen all there is to see. Don’t worry, though, there are always more hidden gems in Georgia to discover! We’re featuring a great one today that’s probably unknown to most of you, but it’s a must-visit if you’re a fan of art museums in Georgia. It’s an artist’s yard that’s been filled with charming, colorful folk art. It’s open to the public and free for visitors, though donations are appreciated. SamG Land in Clarkesville, GA is one of the quirkiest places to see art in the state. Check it out:

This place is practically the polar opposite of a stuffy art museum. The yard is the property of Sam Granger, also known as SamG, a folk artist who devotes his life to making unusual pieces of art that make people smile.
