Flowery Branch City Hall

Mediocre and not even at best. To run down with a bunch of low rent living directly in town. A five dollar town with a half a million dollar roundabout? Needs less riffraff and more businesses or it will go down the crapper. Needs a lot of help

SMALL TOWN FLAVOR
Flowery Branch is a historic railroad town and continues to have several trains driving through the town each day. I discovered the town when I had traveled to the area for a seminar. It was a quiet and peaceful drive and I always thought that I would like to return and explore the downtown area. I recently did just that.
The downtown area is very small but it has an antique store, a hair salon, café, bakery, candy shop and other businesses all housed in original structures. Prior to arriving at the shops, you will pass a historic caboose and depot, (built in 1890). Both have been lovingly restored and are currently being used as museums. The depot is also used for weddings, receptions and community events. It can be toured on Saturdays between 11am and 2pm.

Just behind the depot you will find Depot Park which is the community green space. It is also where the large Christmas tree has been installed and on this day, additional decorations were being added.
Next door to the depot, you will find the Lakeview Art Center which recently installed a mural of a Southern Crescent train on the side of its building. A similar train once ran through the town and is a now a reminder of this period of time.
If you want to make the most of your visit to this town, I definitely suggest going when you can tour the caboose and depot, grab a snack from one of the local shops and take a walk down to City Park to enjoy your snack and take in the view!
