With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that LaGrange, 25 miles away, has to offer. Biblical History Center, LaGrange Art Museum and Bellevue Mansion alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you toward Columbus, 55 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. (But we’d also highly recommend Peachtree Mall and Coca-Cola Space Science Center.)
