1. Experience Arts, Heritage, and Community at The Sautee Nacoochee Cultural Center
Your visit to the Georgia Arts and Heritage District, of which Sautee Nacoochee forms a part, would be incomplete without taking a tour of the Sautee Nacoochee Cultural Center.
The center was established to safeguard and showcase the land, heritage and the community of this unique part of Georgia and you should pop in to see it.
At the heart of the property, you can see a fully-restored old slave cottage which was built around 1850.
The interior of the cabin features exhibits and displays which tell you the story of the slave era in this part of Georgia. You can also visit the impressive Folk Pottery Museum and the Sautee Nacoochee History Museum so that you can get a full historic overview.
Address: Sautee Nacoochee Cultural Center, 283 Highway 255 N, Sautee Nacoochee, GA 30571, Phone: 706-878-3300
2. If You’re Searching for Charm and Relaxation, Visit The Lavender Cottage and Garden
The Lavender Cottage and Garden is sure to be one of your most rewarding and memorable stops in the Sautee Nacoochee valley.
Before you even enter the door of this quaint little gift shop you will be surrounded by the wonderful aroma of lavender.
The store stocks a wide range of bath and beauty products which are made from their wonderful organic lavender and you should guy some to bring home with you. There are essential oils for aromatherapy treatments, fragrant linen sprays (I loved these) and much more.
Then there are the delectable edibles and you can pick up a few delicious lavender cookies to enjoy on your hike. Or bring home lavender honey and lavender-infused jams. You can pick up some recipes and buy special gifts for all your friends and family.
