Named after the locust trees that could be seen throughout the landscape, the city of Locust Grove has a rich history, and its Main Street dates back to the 1870s! Stroll through downtown to take a look at the historic buildings, shop at local establishments and dine at local restaurants. If you love trains, be sure to spend some time at the new Train Watching Platform in the downtown area. There, you can watch for the trains that make their way through the city—connecting Atlanta with the Port of Savannah, and with 40 trains passing through each day, you’re likely to spot at least one!
For those interested in learning about protecting animals and conserving their natural habitats, the Noah’s Ark animal rehabilitation center is a must. The 250-acre sanctuary is home to more than 1,500 animals, ranging from lions, tigers and bears to horses, parrots, monkeys and more. The animals live in habitats that mirror their natural environments. Walk along the nature trails, visit the animal habitats and learn about responsible animal ownership during your visit. The sanctuary does not charge admission, but donations are accepted.
