Blue Ridge, a quaint mountain town, located in Fannin County nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Getting here takes approximately 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta, 1 hour from Chattanooga Tennessee and central to Asheville North Carolina, Gatlinburg Tennessee, and Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
In the early 1900s, visitors from nearby cities traveled to Blue Ridge by train (founded in 1886) to take advantage of the pure mineral waters since the town was once considered an elite health resort. Today, Blue Ridge welcomes visitors from all over the country and the world to shop for authentic Appalachian arts and crafts, pottery, quilts and more. Visitors are attracted to Blue Ridge for the very essence of a time gone by. Leave your cares behind and step back into yesteryear in our quaint town of Blue Ridge. Enjoy our mountain charm, tranquility and relaxed lifestyle, but be careful, you just might want to "move 2 North Georgia"!
Downtown Blue Ridge offers a variety of happenings, among them are shopping, eating and equally as important is just resting in the city park, breathing in the fresh mountain air and watching happy people go by.
