Walton County, Georgia
Walton County straddles the line between Atlanta’s sprawl and Georgia’s rural heartland. It’s about an hour east of the city. It’s close enough for commuters but far enough to keep its country charm.
You can’t talk about Walton without mentioning “In the Heat of the Night”. That’s because parts of the TV show were filmed here. The Social Circle Theater keeps the arts alive with local productions.
Monroe is the county seat. It has a historic downtown that’s come back to life in recent years. You’ll see plenty of farms and pastures. But there’s also a growing tech sector. Walton County is changing, sure, but it’s holding onto its roots.
