In the heart of historic downtown LaGrange, Georgia sits the square and fountain named after American Revolutionary War hero and French aristocrat and military officer, Marquis de Lafayette.

The beautiful, circular fountain is a favorite place amongst locals to sit and relax, walk around, take photographs and enjoy the scenery and gorgeous downtown LaGrange.

This statue of Lafayette is an exact copy of the original by Ernest-Eugene Hiolle (1834-1886) that stands in Le Puy, Auvergne, France. It was cast by American sculptor Harry Jackson at his Wyoming Foundry Studies, Camaiore, Italy, in 1974.

Winding through the beautiful neighborhoods and parks of LaGrange, The Thread is a 12-foot wide path designed for walking, running and biking. The path is a non-motorized, multi-purpose trail originally built to increase the health and wellness in the community by providing a safe environment for fitness and recreation.

The Thread is an ongoing project with new sections being added every year, and an end goal of over 29 miles of safe, family-friendly paths. Pocket parks are found throughout the trail system, and it is beloved by countless members of the LaGrange community.

What was once the Westbrook Service & Tire Co. building is now the home of Wild Leap, the first brewery to find its home in LaGrange. Adorned with some of the original signage salvaged during the building’s restoration, Wild Leap features a tasting room, pet-friendly outdoor courtyard, brewhouse and fun activities for all. From live music to themed parties, food festivals to weekend mystery cocktails, something is always brewing at Wild Leap!

Formed by long-time friends and natural-born innovators, the name Wild Leap speaks to the conviction of the two founders, who left successful career paths to follow their passion of creating a better-tasting craft beer. The name is also a nod to celebrating the risky but crucial first step that sets a dream in motion. The founders hope it encourages others in the community to take their own “wild leaps”.

Since opening in 2017, Wild Leap has gained notoriety in Georgia, seeing tremendous growth in its first few years. Celebrating countless releases of creative and easy-drinking craft beers, Wild Leap was voted America’s Best New Brewery of 2019 by U.S.A Today.

Completed in 1916, the 13,000 square foot home was designed to flow gracefully into its gardens—a series of dwarf boxwood parterres planted by Sarah Ferrell, which have adorned the terraces of the hill for more than 175 years and is considered one of the best-preserved 19th-century gardens in the country. The classic lines of the home, designed by renowned architects Neel Reid and Hal Hentz, have now silently watched over the beloved gardens for a century.

Guests are invited to visit, enjoy the grounds and learn more about the family legacy of stewardship. The estate—preserved by the fourth generation of the Fuller E. Callaway family—is open to the public for the education and enjoyment of the community.

As you stroll the well-trodden paths, descend the terraces, sit in the seclusion of the rose bowers, or pause to gaze up at the magnificent home, you are always in the presence of Sarah Ferrell and the Callaway women, three remarkable women who made Hills & Dales a home and its gardens a national treasure.
