Thomaston Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Thomaston is located in central Georgia's Upson County. It's approximately an hour from Atlanta, Macon and Columbus, Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the population was 9,638. Thomaston was chosen as one of the "Top 100 Small Towns in America" in both 1986 and in 1995, citing the town's slow pace and southern hospitality. The town has also been chosen among 120 U.S. towns to be listed in Norman Crampton's book, "Making Your Move to One of America's Best Small Towns." In the book, Thomaston is described as "a perfect place for people looking to leave the fast-paced city life for a more relaxing environment." Some would describe Thomaston as an ordinary small town, but this is exactly what makes it so appealing. You'll find family-owned restaurants and businesses, an old fashioned hardware store, a single screen movie theater, barber shops and other indications of a by-gone era. It's a friendly town with clean neighborhoods and stately old homes. On the outskirts of town are rolling hills and peaceful farms. There are lots of recreational activities in the area, including fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, picnicking, biking and golf. Nearby attractions include The Rock Ranch, a 1250-acre working cattle farm that is often the site of local events. Other places of interest are the Auchumpkee Creek Covered Bridge, Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain, and Roosevelt's Little White House in Warm Springs. The city of Macon is a short drive and offers shopping, fine dining and museums, such as the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
