The recipe for the perfect community is simple…combine equal parts vitality and old-fashioned charm with recreation, history and natural beauty. Add modern infrastructure and services with four-lane highway access and upscale shopping and you have—Dawson County and Historic Dawsonville.
Yes, there are still places where the past and the present can co-exist, where small town culture and values are served up with mountain hospitality. Less than an hour north of Atlanta, surrounded by the southern Appalachian mountains and flanked by 39,000 acre Lake Lanier, Dawson County and Historic Dawsonville is a community with many facets.
The modern Dawsonville begins at the junction of Georgia 400 and Highway 53, where the North Georgia Premium Outlets and adjacent retail shopping, dining, theater and entertainment beckon.
Just a few miles west on Highway 53, historic Dawsonville hearkens back to its founding in the mid 1800s, a time when the region was a quaint mountain farming community. Today a historic town square, courthouse, jail and other original period architecture stands as a reminder of a bygone era.
