This School Bus Graveyard In Georgia Is Truly Something To Marvel Over

The School Bus Graveyard in Georgia is a unique auto-salvage-turned-art gallery where visitors can explore abandoned buses adorned with local art.

As far as abandoned places in Georgia go, our state has quite a few. But we're going to show you a different, more quirky side of our state! Most people tend not to think about what happens to a school bus when it retires from taking children to and from school. However, there is one particular place in Georgia that can answer your question, plus show you just how a school bus graveyard comes to be. This weirdly wonderful place known as Alonzo Wade Auto Parts & Services, is also dubbed the School Bus Graveyard, and one look will have you in awe.

The School Bus Graveyard is located in Habersham County and is a place where the odd and the beautiful become one.

This unique auto-salvage-turned-art gallery was created by Alonzo Wade, who had an auto-wrecker business and salvage yard.

The problem started in the early 2000s when unwanted guests started stealing from his yard.

It was suggested that Wade use the salvaged buses and RVs to create a fence to keep the thieves at bay.

However, this wonderful wall soon attracted some of Georgia's best artists to throw down a little piece of their work inside.

Wade's son Walter now owns the land with his wife Debbie, and together they graciously allow guests to roam for free and enjoy what has been created.

While this outdoor art gallery is free, it is important for guests to secure permission from Walter and his wife before entering the property.

Guests are able to wander around, snapping photos of the art and finding a bit of magical mysticism in the abandoned buses.

This school bus graveyard is just a testament that creativity is still alive and well in rural Georgia.

When it comes to offbeat attractions in Georgia, this one is pretty unique. Bring your camera and bring some bug spray, because you'll want to spend an entire day strolling through this one-of-a-kind graveyard!

You'll find Georgia's very own bus graveyard in Alto, Georgia. However, make sure that you contact Alonzo Wade Auto Parts before entering the property. Also, a HUGE thanks to Keith Nelms of the Foothills Photography Group for the wonderful photos!
