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.

One of Buford’s gems is Tannery Row, a beautifully restored space that brings the community together through art, dining, and entertainment. At Tannery Row Artist Colony, you can explore open studios and a stunning gallery featuring artists skilled in woodworking, acrylics, pottery, stained glass, oil painting, and more. 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! 

Whether you're hunting for one-of-a-kind art, indulging in a unique dining experience, or simply soaking in the charm of historic downtown Buford, this vibrant destination has something for everyone.
