Historic downtown Waynesboro, Georgia

Historic Waynesboro

Real Americana, just down the road

A Victorian downtown, a century of field-trial heritage, and a place George Washington himself once stayed.

Georgia Field Trials pointer and setter competition

Since 1903

The Bird Dog Capital of the World

In 1903, while the rest of the country was sorting out cars and electricity, Waynesboro was perfecting something else entirely: field trials for bird dogs. More than a century later, the Georgia Field Trials still draw competitors from across the country each January, and the title stuck.

The quiet Georgia countryside around Waynesboro

1791

George Washington slept here

When George Washington traveled through Georgia in 1791, there was no Holiday Inn to pull into, so he stayed in Waynesboro. Today the town keeps that sense of history in its Victorian downtown, an easy 20-22 minute drive from your site at Paw Paw's.
