06-2025 Monroe Museum in Hight rate 9 location for tourist in Monroe, GA, USAFlorence Marina State Park - Omaha Susan Hardee: Great place to take the family for a quiet, secluded weekend get away. Park staff and volunteers are super friendly and helpful. Picturesque views of the water and old oak trees with moss dangling down from them. Providence Canyon (Georgias Little Grand Canyon) and Alabama are mere minutes away. We visited Eufaula, Alabama to see the city where Sweet Home Alabama was filmed and grab a few groceries (about 30 minutes away). One thing to note is that there is not a gas station or grocery store within 30 minutes of the park, so be sure to bring what you need and plan accordingly. Also, the trip in to the park is mainly back roads, so again be sure top off with gas completely before heading out to the park. Plenty of fishing areas to fish from, putt-putt for evening fun, parks for the kids, and an interpretive center is onsite.
Park has a couple of handicap accessible pull through sites available. Handicap placard is required to reserve and occupy.
Heritage Point Regional Park - Dalton Rachel Mason: The playground itself is well thought out, with the exception of not having appropriate signage to let visitors know where to find the restroom facilities and water fountains. We were unable to locate either while there with our grandchildren, other than a portable toilet.
Please beware: at the top of the exciting red climbing wall is what I named the "bonker bar". Even though the children were warned of the bar, its the natural inclination to stand after accomplishing such a feat as climbing the slanted wall and I watched multiple children bonk their heads or faces on the bar as they reached the top of the climb and began to stand. That bar needs a foam roller around it to help prevent injuries from occurring.
Hamilton House Museum. Whitfield-Murray Historical Society - Dalton Strange and Unusual Paranormal: Built in 1840 and restored in 1984. The house originally belonged to John Hamilton of White Plains, Westchester County, New York. Born August 17, 1803, John was a civil engineer who came to Kingston, Tennessee to make improvements along the Tennessee River. John Hamilton married Rachael Loyd Wester in Tennessee on February 13, 1834. About five years later, the couple moved to Georgia where John helped to construct the railroad system connecting Atlanta to Chattanooga. Hamilton purchased the land where the house now stands from an Indian named Young Bird. It is said that Young Bird was actually killed on what is now Thornton Avenue when he was thrown from his horse. The Hamiltons names are found on rolls of the First Presbyterian Church along with the names of some of their slaves. After Mr. Hamiltons death in 1853, Rachael and the children continued to maintain the plantation. I highly recommend this location for a family outing, the folks who run this place are very knowledgeable about the home!
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.
