1. Main Street

Thomson200 / Wikimedia CC0 Acworth Main Street The historic heart of Acworth, Main Street predates European settlement in the area, and was long used by Cherokee native Americans as a trading route.

The center of life in this small rural town for decades, the street features a number of commercial properties dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Forming part of the famed north-south Dixie Highway, its Victorian-era architecture continues to provide a home for all manner of shops, restaurants, and independent boutiques despite the presence of larger malls elsewhere in town.

Maintaining its atmosphere of southern charm, keep an eye out for its vintage signs and advertisements too.

Collins Avenue Historic District

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Collins Avenue Historic District features a combination of late Victorian-style structures and more homely Craftsmen-style bungalow homes.

At the southern end of the avenue are its oldest buildings, with the Collins-Smith House having been built in 1850 as the homestead of an 80-hectare farm.

That said, the 1897 McMillan-Parks House was moved to its northern end in the 1980s. This end of the avenue is better known for its bungalows.

These were constructed in the 1920s by the general manager of the Unique Knitting Company, which had a mill in Acworth during the period.
