New Echota State Historic Site

"Absolutely loved visiting. Staff was super knowledgeable. Restrooms available and a vending machine for drinks. Pets are allowed as long as leashes but NOT allowed inside buildings. Beautiful area. Also as a side note yearly passes are available (for up to 4 people) for 85.00, if a history buff like myself totally recommend the purchase as they are good for most sites in GA., the staff will let you know where! Admission price is 8 per adult children under 5 free, a discount for seniors was available (62+ yrs old) but don't recall price for seniors or kids over 5, I think 4 dollars but not sure."

"As a former middle school teacher, I can say with authority that Cole’s guided tour of the historic site was the most educational and entertaining I’ve ever experienced on a field trip. Highly recommend!"

"Very well kept historical site. Staff was very informative and helpful. We were headed to another state park, when we passed by then turned around with the idea that we would stay for 15 to 20 minutes if we did not find interesting. Well we stayed for 3+ hours... we totally enjoyed the site, information, learning more about the Cherokee people, walking in nature and again the staff were 5 stars..."

"Great place to spend a fall weekend catching up on history. Watch the movie first to get a better understanding before going on the tour."

"The park ranger at the front informed us about why we have to pay the fee for entry. I do believe it is worth it. Even though we did not tour the buildings on the outside of the visitor center (due to rain)inside offered a wealth of information. Beautiful displays as well as a ton of actual incredible relics, artifacts, and information. A very underappreciated historical site for sure. I do wish they had had access to the river so you could see the fairy that used to be in this area, but an excellent visitor center."
