Dahlonega Gold Museum - Dahlonega (GA)

5 /5 Richard Smith: I was looking for a new destination for a Christmas day trip. I saw a Facebook post about Dahlonega and learned there were 3 Hallmark movies here. Since my wife is an avid Hallmark fan, that sealed the deal. The town square is only about 8 blocks built around the gold museum/city hall (which was closed that day). Once the sun set, the place became magical. We walked the town square and enjoyed the shops. Well definitely visit again.

5 /5 Bear: Make this your first stop since they open at 9am. Sam was our tour guide and was very pleasant and knowledgeable. They have senior rates available, so for $7.50 it was well worth it. It will take you about an hour.

4 /5 L. Kevin Chen: Retired gold mine, which was the first to open in US history. The tour is interesting, although I didnt spot any gold from the rocks. Lol

4 /5 Melissa Wisniewski: Fun small museum. Interesting story behind the gold rush and minting coins in Dahlonega. The cost to enter was a little bit pricey based on the size of the museum and number of exhibits. The guide was good but had to run back and forth between multiple groups that were in different parts of their trek.
