Description:
Illustrating how rivers were the birthplace of Georgia’s towns and industries, this site was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a gristmill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls became a ghost town in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, park visitors can enjoy the scenic waterfall on the Towaliga River and hike to the remaining gristmill foundation.
