Northwest High Country, GA

Travel Guide

This place is definitely a local gem. Rock City on the border of TN and GA is an unbelievable spot!
Great location with many photo opportunities.
The sites of two major battles of the American Civil War: the Battle of Chickamauga and the Chattanooga Campaign.
Copper Creek Farms is 1 1/2 hours north of Atlanta. At the end of June and beginning of July, the public is allowed in to pick sunflowers and zinnias. Lots of families bring their kids here for photos among the sunflowers. There are also farm animals and a kids train that encircles the fields. And they grow beautiful sunflowers!
During the 1790s, James Vann became a Cherokee Indian leader and wealthy businessman. He established the largest and most prosperous plantation in the Cherokee Nation, covering 1,000 acres of what is now Murray County. In 1804 he completed construction of a beautiful 2 ½-story brick home that was the most elegant in the Cherokee Nation. After Vann was murdered in 1809, his son Joseph inherited the mansion and plantation. Joseph was also a Cherokee leader and became even more wealthy than his father. In the 1830s almost the entire Cherokee Nation was forced west by state and federal troops on the infamous Trail of Tears. The Vann family lost their elegant home, rebuilding in the Cherokee Territory of Oklahoma. Today the Vann House survives as Georgia’s best-preserved historic Cherokee Indian home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the house which features beautiful hand carvings, a remarkable “floating” staircase, a 12-foot mantle and fine antiques.
