If you visit Decatur, you must visit the Historic Districts. Incredible!
We downloaded the app from the Decatur visitor website and drove and making it a "windshield" tour due to the heat and humidity. The historic architecture was incredible to see. The entire districts are gorgeous. Each stop is narrated and it was a great experience. Visiting for work, my husband hadn't left his usual route and I wanted to see more of Decatur. The Historic Decatur & Albany District tours were perfect. Each route takes about an hour by car. Plenty to see. We used my phone for the app and his to navigate directions . There was no traffic and room to pull over to curbs to look for a minute and then continue on. Both of us were pointing out other buildings and homes, architecture etc. the entire time.
