So Much. So Cose. Begin your Gainesville adventure with a visit to the historic downtown square

where more than 50 quaint shops and local restaurants make you feel like you're

part of the community. Nearby, on the Brenau University campus, you'll find the

Northeast Georgia History Center where you can tour the 18th century cabin

of a Cherokee Indian Chief and touch a tornado. Pretend you're a doctor or a

fireman at the Interactive Neighborhood for Kids. Venture out for a day of sailing

on Lake Lanier or try the splash zone at the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center.

Connect beauty and nature at the Atlanta Botanical Garden - Gainesville. If golf is

your sport, the Chattahoochee Golf Club is just minutes away. Enjoy your game

and a breathtaking view of the lake. At the end of the day, come back downtown

for an evening of entertainment at the Arts Council Smithgall Arts Center .

Welcome to Gainesville. We're glad you're here!
