Upson County, Georgia
Upson County sits in west-central Georgia, about an hour south of Atlanta. Thomaston, the county seat, is the heart of the place. Upson has a rich history in textiles, but these days it’s more diverse. You’ll find everything from small farms to high-tech manufacturing.
The Flint River runs along the west, offering great spots for fishing and kayaking. Locals love to hike at Sprewell Bluff Park, especially when the weather’s nice.
The Thomaston-Upson Archives is a goldmine for historians. The Greatest Generation Memorial Park is a nice spot to take your kids to. Upson might be off the beaten path, but that’s part of its charm.
