Georgia Ghost Towns

Georgia’s ghost towns span the full sweep of Southern history. Gold rush towns from the 1830s – decades before California’s famous rush – Civil War era communities, cotton mill villages, and turpentine camps all left abandoned settlements across the state. Georgia ghost towns are found in the mountains of the north, the Piedmont plateau, and the coastal lowlands of the south, each region with its own distinct history of rise and fall.
