In today's world, we spend a lot of time in the car. Cars are wonderful inventions that have truly changed the fabric of society and allow us to travel distances that were not possible a hundred years ago, but even so, it can be a drag to have to drive everywhere. There's something so delightfully charming about a walkable town in Georgia where you can park your car, get out, and spend the day in the fresh air. One of the best Peach State small towns for strolling around and enjoying the local shops is the downtown Thomasville area.
Thomasville is the county seat of Thomas County in southwest Georgia, and with around 18,000 people, it's technically a little big to be considered a small town. However, just one visit here will show you what a great community atmosphere this place has that makes it feel smaller than it actually is.
The downtown area has no shortage of shops, all within a few blocks of each other so they're easily accessed without a car. Grab a coffee from Grassroots Coffee and get ready to get some exercise!
Looking to pick up some new clothes? Head into Ally B Boutique for trendy women's fashion.
Firefly is an adorable home goods store that sells all kinds of eclectic goods, including antiques, art, and gifts.
Fans of crafting will not want to miss Fuzzy Goat, a whimsical yarn shop with limitless charm.
Shopping for little ones? You'll definitely want to hit up Imagination Emporium. This old-time toy store specializes in toys that spark kids' imaginations, and you'll notice a distinct lack of battery-powered gizmos here.
No small town is complete without a friendly independent bookstore, and you'll find just that in The Bookshelf. This place is a reader's paradise!
This is just a small sampling of the array of shops you'll find in downtown Thomasville. For more information about this great walkable town in Georgia, check out the Discover Thomasville website.
