Historic Green Street Walking Tour

   Take a step back in time by embarking on a Walking tour of Historic Green Street in downtown Gainesville, Georgia. This enchanting tour will let you picture what the tree lined Green Street was like in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. A local guide can help you learn about the history of this street and the beautiful homes once occupied by growing families.

   Imagine women, young and old, sitting on the veranda drinking lemonade and gossiping with their friends. Envision children climbing one of the tall Oak trees as they head towards town to go to school or run an errand for their parents. What do you see coming down the street? Is it a horse-drawn carriage, a bicycle, a trolley car or maybe the first automobile in town?
