Sundance Gallery

Best kept secret in Blairsville, GA!! Sundance Gallery is a charming little gallery/gift store, that's a little "off the beaten path", offering unique and interesting items made by American artists and craftsmen. It's a hidden gem in the country (about 7 miles south of the Blairsville Town Square), with a HUGE selection of pottery from all over the United States, but also features the works of local and regional artists and craftsmen. Come see a variety of finely crafted pottery, glass art, woodcraft, home decor items and much more.

Sundance Gallery and Gift is hands down one of my favorite places to visit in N. GA. From Gordy the shop dog to the beautiful local gifts and pottery to just the genuinely kind shop owner Julie, this place is a feast for the eyes and a respite for the soul.

We spent a couple of days in the Blairsville area and I wanted to check this winery out. This is a wonderful spot. Shari made us feel at home and was a pleasure to talk to. The wines are outstanding! Shari also gave us some great tips for dining. Definitely a place to stop while in the area. We will visit again

Ok folks. This is a true Country Store in rural North Georgia in the mountains. I loved it! This is not Bloomingdales. It was chocked full of yummy jams, preserves, jellies, and all kind of miscellaneous items. It was a true country store. Everything we bought was great to eat. Home made stuff not from big chains. I cant' wait to go back!

Union County Historical Courthouse

Reviewed By 417raym - Beverly Hills, United States

Great museum located in Blairsville, Georgia. We were very pleased that the court house building was saved and converted to a museum. There were plans to destroy the building because it was in disrepair. However, a local resident took on the challenge and won the battle to save and restore the building. There are many rooms within the 2 story building, with an elevator, dedicated to preserving the history of the local area. There is the original restored Courtroom, Jury Room, Research & Genealogy Room, Local History Room, slob by & Hallways which is a step into the storied past of Union County nestled in the heart of the Georgia Mountains, School Room, Military Room, Religion Room, Farabee Elevator Z & Paris Room, Sports Room, Music Room, and the Miniature Collection Room. The many artifacts, books, bibles, certificates, and much more were all donated from a variety of places and people. There are several personnel/curators available to help explain the many different rooms/artifacts that are on display. Yes, the building is even considered haunted. There have been a few sightings of a spirit named Hector. It was a great honor to visit this courthouse. I hope you find this review helpful in making travel/sightseeing plans in Blairsville, Georgia. We highly recommend a visit.

Alexander's Store

Today the store has an incredible 50,000 square feet of retail space which is hard to imagine just standing out front. Since Alexander’s is so unique, many people regard the landmark as a tourist attraction. What began in 1953 as a small general store has now evolved into a shopping experience with casual yet trendy clothing and shoes, furniture, appliances, guns, and ammunition. As a family-owned business, Alexander’s maintains a set of shared traditions and values deeply rooted in the history of the store. Alexander’s is more than just a store. It’s a testimony of how a family business can be handed down from one generation to the next and be successful in today’s era of mega stores and online shopping. The next time you travel to the north Georgia mountains, stop in and wander around the store. We’d love to see you!

I must be living right. Out of the blue yesterday my wife said-, "You know, over the years I have spent TONS more on clothing, handbags and shoes than you could every possibly spend on guns. So why not get the ones we just saw at Alexander's last weekend." True story! I did not wait for any second thoughts and again, for about the fifth time since Aug 2018 made the scenic trek (via 348) up to the Temple of Firearms Best Prices. Outcome? Handsome Ruger .22 bolt action...and the pretty (as rifles go) Browning SA 22 AAA Maple. May sound goofy but the bottom line is the expertise and courtesies shown by the staff in the "war room" downstairs. Headed by Matthew, assisted by Phil, Earl and the rest of the team, you could not be in the proverbial better place for selection and pricing from hundreds of rifles, pistols, shotguns..you name it..they have or can get it. Old school honesty and straight talk, backed up with decades of-in-the- field experiences...that's Alexander's.
