Quick trips close to home They say that the most important feature of a property is location, location, location. Here in Middle Georgia, we are blessed with a great location. We are close to the mountains, the big city, the east cost and the gulf coast. Within a half days’ drive, we can travel to many different “destinations”. But there are actually some really great spots even closer to home that most people don’t realize are here or we take for granted that we can go “anytime”!

It’s a community center purposed with hosting events that highlight local artists.
