Named for former U.S. senator, Crawfordville may be one of the most filmed cities in Georgia. It’s home to 13 movies made in Georgia: “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Get Low” and “Pushing Up Daisies” among them. When you visit downtown Crawfordville, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into the early 1900s. The museum at A.H. Stephens State Park has one of the finest collections of Civil War Artifacts in Georgia, and there are 21 miles of trails to explore on horseback.
