Things to Do Near Milledgeville, Georgia

Milledgeville served as Georgia's capital from 1804 to 1868, a history the Historic Trolley Tours cover with a 60-minute cruise through the former statehouse square and past St. Stephens Episcopal Church, consecrated in 1843. Georgia's Old Governor's Mansion, home to the state's governors during that era, offers guided tours for a deeper dive, and Andalusia, the farm where author Flannery O'Connor lived and wrote, draws literary-minded visitors. The town's dual identity as a historic capital and college town — home to Georgia College & State University and Georgia Military College — keeps downtown's Great American Mainstreet lively with shops and restaurants, while Lake Sinclair's 400-plus miles of shoreline handle boating, kayaking, jet skiing, and fishing just outside town.
