Unique shopping opportunities abound in Dahlonega, especially around its historic square that easily earned a coveted spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
Now the center of a thriving music and arts scene, and the heart of Georgia's wine industry, Dahlonega provides much to see and do during every season.
