"Lake Oconee's Hometown"

Southern charm and small town service await you in historic Greensboro, Lake Oconee's hometown. Downtown Greensboro has been the place to shop for more than a hundred years  -  long before Interstate 20 was the road most traveled! In the 1800's Greensboro's  "Big Store" in the heart of town was the largest mercantile on the road between Atlanta and Augusta.

Today, the historic shopping district features regionally known restaurants, boutiques, and home decor and gift shops.  Shoppers browse upscale clothiers or search for the perfect antique, all in a beautifully restored downtown where old-fashioned service isn't so old-fashioned after all!

Visitors will find handcrafted art created by Georgia artisans and original sculpture and paintings from local artists.  They may even become an artist themselves!  Greensboro offers regular crafting lessons, painting workshops, or the chance to watch an artisan at work.

Downtown dining offers ice cream, country cooking, authentic Georgia BBQ, deli sandwiches, steaks, seafood and international cuisine.

The Greensboro Saturdays series each May through October features special downtown events the third Saturday of each month.

Visit downtown Greensboro today, and feel like you've finally come "home".
