One of the most picturesque state parks in Georgia, Watson Mill Bridge contains the longest covered bridge in the state, spanning 229 feet across the South Fork River. Built in 1885 by Washington (W.W.) King, son of freed slave and famous covered-bridge builder Horace King, the bridge is supported by a town lattice truss system held firmly together with wooden pins. At one time, Georgia had more than 200 covered bridges; today, less than 20 remain

Hotel Abacus

10/10 Excellent

"Unique. "

Rivet House

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel itself is beautiful. It’s in an old industrial warehouse. There’s not a lot around it and it certainly not walkable but we just stayed at the property for one night. Had a good meal in the restaurant and some very good cocktails in the lounge area. There is apparently a train that runs nearby and we were warned that it might wake us up, but we didn’t hear it at all."
