Why Camp Near Lawrenceville?
Things to Do Near Lawrenceville, Georgia
Lawrenceville's historic downtown square centers on the 1885 Gwinnett Historic Courthouse, a Romanesque-style building rebuilt after the original burned down under suspicious circumstances. The Aurora Theatre, run out of a converted historic church, hosts more than 700 events a year, from Broadway-style productions to a dedicated Children's Playhouse series, making it one of Gwinnett County's genuine cultural draws. Sports fans can catch a Gwinnett Stripers minor league baseball game at Coolray Field, shoppers have Sugarloaf Mills' 180-plus retailers to explore, and the area's parks and greenways — including the Suwanee Creek Greenway nearby — give outdoor-minded visitors plenty of trail time.
