Adairsville

Nestled in the Oothcalooga Valley, Adairsville was the first Georgia town to be listed in its entirety on the National Register of Historic Places (December 1987). Today, visitors can see the original depot which witnessed the pursuit of the steam locomotive General of the famous Great Locomotive Chase during the Civil War. The 1847 Railroad Depot is home to the Adairsville Welcome Center.

Just 5 miles outside Adairsville is Barnsley Gardens Resort, an 1840's estate where today guests can retreat to a luxurious stay, including dining, spa, gardens, Springbank Plantation, and challenging play for par on the Fazio-designed golf course.
