We had the honor of attending the Gospel Christmas program last night at the Ritz in Toccoa. We were warmly greeted at the door as we entered for the show. My family took me to dinner and then here to the program for my birthday and this place was amazing. The theater has been restored and is really a nice place to spend some time with the family.They have the Gospel singing monthly and invited everyone back to see them next month. Will definately return to this theater in the future.

My husband and I have wanted to go to this spot for a couple of years. It is only open on the weekends, but we recommend going. We enjoyed watching the short video and learn about this historic home. Exploring the whole attraction took an hour.

There isn’t much left of the old World War II era camp Toccoa at Currahee. What appears to be the former entrance is bounded in about a 100 yard long 75 yard wide fenced in area that contains and entrance gate, a C-47 transport plane and, a few buildings. But it’s worth a stop! Simply immersing yourself in the environment will give you a sense of what the trainees went through at this place during World War II. The nearby mountain that now contains various radio towers Is the likely spot for the trainees daily run up and down the mountain. Give museum in nearby Toccoa presents much memorabilia.
