One of my favorite things about the Peach State is how historic the state is. You can find so much to learn about here, with colonial-era history, tons of old buildings, and even ancient Native American mounds in Georgia. It can feel like no matter where you are in the state, you’re able to find history museums or historical sites to explore. However, some cities have more history to discover than others, and if you’re looking for one of the most historic towns in Georgia, you’ll find it in Adairsville. This little city of around 5,000 lies about halfway between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and it’s got so much to see and do, despite having a small population. It’s a charming place for a day trip or weekend getaway. Check this little city out:

Adairsville has an area of about nine square miles. The closest large cities are Calhoun and Rome, and it's about 60 miles north of Atlanta.

Most people who are familiar with Adairsville know of it due to the city's Barnsley Resort, a 3,000-acre historic estate that's now one of the best places to stay in Adairsville.
