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.
