Historic Courthouse and Museum

Architecture and history come alive for you when you visit this Romanesque brick and granite courthouse built in 1899 on the square in downtown Blairsville. Added to the Register of Historic Places in 1980, and recently restored, it's now a local history museum, cultural center, and summertime concert hall.

This is Erin's absolute FAVORITE Mexican food. You will not get better nachos anywhere. They also have amazing Mexican fries and margaritas. They often have live music on the weekends.

This is a Christian-based coffee shop in Blairsville. The people are so friendly and the coffee is really good. You can take the coffee to go, or stay and listen to music.

Jack "Mimm" McClure (January 25, 1914 - June 26, 1969) was an American Appalachian moonshiner and local philanthropist from Young Harris, Georgia , GA. Local stories abound in the Georgia mountains of McClure's quality bootleg spirits, his charitable giving, and his self delivered justice to those who crossed him. He is also reputed to have been behind the rise of a few notable Georgia politicians of his time.

On January 25, 2012 country musician, Tommy Townsend, a grandson of McClure, announced his partnership with Georgia Distilling Company, Inc. of Milledgeville, GA to recreate and market his grandfathers original moonshine recipes legally for the first time. Dubbed "Grandaddy Mimm's Corn Whiskey", it is produced on stills designed by McClure, and built in Georgia using his secret family recipe. According to press reports, Grandaddy Mimm's line of spirits will be initially distributed in Georgia and throughout the American southeast. The stills were handcrafted by a metal fabricator in Macon, GA.
