Wander
off the beaten track and discover the Treasures Along I-20 trail
starting in Conyers just East of Atlanta. Founded in 1854, along
the main railroad route from Augusta to Atlanta and visited by
Civil War General William T. Sherman on his “March to the Sea”
in 1864,
Olde Town Conyers, today is a vibrant Main Street
community. Enjoy unique shopping, delightful eateries, or a
leisurely stroll through the Lewis Vaughn Botanical Garden.
Attend a performance at the Pavilion, a production at Center
Street Arts, or immerse yourself in the historic district’s
annual festivals and special events. More than horses, the
Georgia International Horse Park is a world-class, multipurpose
facility and hosts a year-round calendar of events including the
annual
Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival each March. There are
fifteen miles of horse trails and eight miles of mountain bike
trails winding through the 1400-acres park and also includes Big
Haynes Creek Nature Center, Memorial Arboretum, and
Cherokee Run
Golf Club. Minutes North of the Horse Park is Black Shoals Park,
a

650 acres reservoir and recreational facility, featuring the
Walk of Heroes Veterans War Memorial. Reflect on the sacrifices
of veterans and their families involved in 20th century wars to
current deployments. South of Exit 82,
The Monastery of the Holy
Spirit is a beautiful and tranquil backdrop for Cistercian monks
who have made their home in Conyers for over sixty-eight years.
Experience the new $6.5 million Monastic Heritage Center, a
17,000 square foot innovative complex featuring Visitors Center,
Museum, Bonsai Garden, Abbey Store, and Café. Close by, visit
Panola Mountain State Park, Georgia’s First Conservation Park.
