Georgia Small Town Praised by Travel and Leisure Magazine

There's something extra special about taking a summer vacation at a small town. For those who want to escape the rat race, adventuring to a small town is a great idea. Now, one Georgia small town has been named one of the best for a summer vacation in America by travel experts. It's a cozy spot that's tucked away, so if you're looking for a trip that has lots of charm and not much craziness, then this might be your choice spot.

The experts at Travel and Leisure magazine have put together a list of the 15 best U.S. small towns for a summer vacation. In it, they call these towns that "put you under their summertime spell," which is a cute way to put it. "There's just something about a small town in summer that hits a little differently," they write. "Perhaps it's the community festivals, the balmy evening strolls along Main Street, or an ice cream truck rumbling through a leafy neighborhood blaring that all too familiar tune."

Before we get to our state, let's look at the small town they have at the top of the list. It's Narrowsburg, New York, which sits along the Delaware River. This town has just around 390 residents and is "one of the best small towns in New York and a hot spot for tubing, kayaking, and canoeing." They also suggest trying local tour operator Lander's River Trips, which give you "a range of half-day and full-day river excursions — stop by Narrowsburg Proper general store for snacks and sundries before your outing."

So, which Georgia small town is considered one of the best for a summer vacation in America by the experts at Travel and Leisure magazine? It's Adairsville, Georgia. Of the area, the travel experts state that this small town only has a population of around 5,200 people. A few fine attractions that the experts recommend include Adairsville Depot History Museum, "housed in an old railroad depot, to learn about the town's role in the Civil War's Great Locomotive Chase." They also suggest to "retreat to Barnsley Resort, a paradise for outdoors enthusiasts with horseback riding, clay target shooting, archery, ax throwing, golf, disc golf, and more." Also, for car enthusiasts, make sure to visit the Savoy Automobile Museum in the close by town of Cartersville, which offers "exhibits of art deco cars, racing cars, and woodie wagons." I'm so happy to see the Georgia small town make this national list of the best small towns for a summer vacation in America.
