The main park in the town features this statue of Sequoyah, an historical leader of First Nations people.
Another attraction in town is the Paradise Garden, a kitschy collection of offbeat artwork that was featured in an early music video by rock band REM. We didn't arrive in town in time to visit the site, but we plan to in the future and will file a separate post about it.
While the pandemic might have put a damper on holiday travel plans, that doesn't mean you still can't get out and enjoy this festive time of year. We recently took a trip to Helen, Ga., which styles itself as a small Alpine village right here on this side of the pond. This little hamlet in the North Georgia mountains offers a handful of nice restaurants, shops and other attractions that you can enjoy during the holiday season and all year long.
This time of year, Lake Lanier is decked out in its holiday best. So in addition to enjoying the lake and the beauty of its natural surroundings, visitors can see a lovely festive display.
