Scenic | Friendly | Artistic
Buford perfectly blends small-town nostalgia with the vibrant energy of a big-city shopping and dining scene. Stroll through its charming downtown, where historic turn-of-the-century buildings have been transformed into eclectic art galleries, unique boutiques, and must-visit restaurants.

Just steps away, historic downtown Buford offers a lively spot for great food, drinks, and large events, making it a go-to gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Looking to take a walk on the wild side? The Environmental & Heritage Center is the perfect place to learn about the great outdoors of Georgia, while also having the ability to visit them!
