Named after American war hero Stephen Decatur, the city of Decatur in Georgia was once a stone quarry and farmers’ trading center. It is an hour’s drive from Stone Mountain Park, North America’s largest granite mountain where the world’s biggest high-relief sculpture is carved on its side. The sculpture is an amazing image of three famous Confederate Generals. Formerly an agricultural area, Decatur became a progressive industrial and residential city. Visit the historic and well-preserved Benjamin Swanton House, built in 1823, making it Decatur’s oldest residence. As Metro Atlanta’s most walkable foodie and shopping destination, you’ll find over 200 unique shops, several Indian restaurants, salons, galleries, and services. This tree-lined city offers fun-tastic festivals along with arts and music events that make it a perfect family-friendly travel destination.
