"So Much To Offer!"
"Treasures" Along I-20 are waiting to be explored just east of
Atlanta when you discover Conyers--our first jewel.
Founded in 1854 along the main railroad route from
Augusta to Atlanta,
Olde Town Conyers, a Main Street city, offers unique shopping,
delightful eateries, or a leisure stroll through its charming residential
area. Make your first stop the Conyers Welcome Center located in the
historic train depot. Imagine riding the rails on the Milstead 104 "Dinky"
steam locomotive, wander the Lewis Vaughn Botanical Gardens, or enjoy
entertainment at the Pavilion or a theatre production at Center Street
Arts. The
Georgia International
Horse Park is a world class facility and a former venue of the
Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games in 1996. Hosting a year round calendar of
events including the annual Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival in March, the
1400-acre park features fifteen miles of horse trails, eight miles of
mountain bike trails, the Big Haynes Creek Nature Center, and a
championship golf course to challenge avid sports enthusiasts.
Just minutes from the Georgia International
Horse Park is Black Shoals Park, a 650-acre reservoir and
recreational facility, Haralson Mill Covers Bridge, and the new Georgia
Veterans Memorial Park, "Walk Of Heroes". South of Exit 82 visit the
peace and serenity of the
Monastery of the Holy Spirit, which for
over sixty years has been home to Cistercian monks and
Panola Mountain State Park... Georgia's
first conservation park. and a gateway of the new Arabia Mountain National
Heritage Area. |
