3.5Fort Hollingsworth(2 reviews) - Late 1700's history Spent 1-2 hours Military Museums • Speciality Museums • Natural History Museums • History Museums
Stopped here with a group on our motorcycles, and we all enjoyed the short visit. This isn't anything fancy, it is history preserved and the story told of a time in the late 1700's and early 1800's and it is interesting. Hard to imagine that in those times that particular part of North Georgia was considered the wild western frontier, but it was. If you are driving in the North Ga area, it is close to Cornelia, and not too far from Commerce. If you are into history, you will enjoy it. Not sure I would make it a destination, but if you were going to be around, sure it is worth you time. No facilities or any kind of services here, just the grounds and the historic buildings.See more..
