Summerville, Ga.: Charming Small Town

 

We recently visited Summerville, Ga., a small town about two hours northwest of Atlanta. This charming town has a park that is currently decorated with lights and commemorative holiday trees. 

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.
