Blunt House - Dalton Joseph Ridolfo: Went on a special tour from Chattanooga. Georgia had a free pass day so we visited the Huff House and Blunt House in Dalton. Both homes had their unique history, so I would suggest visiting them together. The interpreters were very knowledgeable and glad to share information. We parked in the back lot, but there are parking instructions for the front of the house too.
Dalton Freight Depot and Visitors Center - Dalton Stacie Hahn: This was a fantastic place to visit if you are with a train enthusiast! They’re open til 4pm, a lovely historical building, lots of visitor center info and brochures. The bathrooms were spotless, tables out front for picnics (a brewery/bar shared the parking lot if you need a pub snack) we had a great time! The visitor center attendant was very sweet and welcoming. I can’t wait to visit there again! We saw 2 trains within a 30 minute time period; midweek around 3:30pm. The schedules are not set, but you’re more likely to catch trains during the weekdays during business hours, compared to a Sunday afternoon. (Just my observation from living 5 miles from this depot on a CSX rail line… weekends are more quiet.) check this place out if you’re in the neighborhood!! :)
George W. Disney Trail - Dalton Alondra Gomez: This was a great moderately difficult hike (depending on your level of experience). The way up can be pretty steep, but there’s spots where you can pull off and catch your breath. I recommend wearing well treaded shoes as you will have to climb up a bit. Definitely bring water and some snacks. The trail is pretty narrow so it’s hard to walk side-by-side if you’re there with more people. The are spots where the trail splits off but it usually loops backs around. The views were so worth it and definitely get better the higher up you go! If you wanna break a sweat and enjoy some views, this a hike for you!
The Huff House - Dalton Nancy McLeroy: This was a very mice place. The gentleman working there gave us a tour and told us about the items in the house. He explained about the history of the house. If you like civil war stuff then this is a nice place to visit
Harlan Godfrey Civitan Park - Dalton Paula Thompson: Wonderful park there’s just never enough parking, everyone goes to walk there so there’s never any parking when you take the kids , great place for kids and wonderful place for bday parties you just have to beat everyone there
Dalton Distillery - Dalton Alexis Tallon: Pretty location, right on the water.
The seasonal blackberry moonshine was my favorite. Can’t wait to see what the next seasonal favor will be!
