Things To Do
THE HISTORIC RITZ THEATRE
The Ritz Theatre was originally constructed in 1939 as a single screen movie theater seating 500 patrons. It was operated by Fred T. McLendon, who built a chain of 36 theaters across the southeast. Of those, the only remaining Georgia theaters are Atlanta’s Buckhead Theatre and Toccoa’s Ritz Theatre. Over time, the Ritz has hosted many forms of entertainment, including The Famous Flames with James Brown, comedian James Gregory, and The Drifters. After years of renovation work, the Historic Ritz Theatre was recognized by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, the United States' largest statewide non-profit preservation organization. The Ritz Theatre received the prestigious 2017 Chairman's Award for Excellence in Rehabilitation for its renovation efforts.
The Links at Lake Toccoa
The Links at Lake Toccoa is a classically-designed nine hole golf course that is newly renovated and features Tifeagle greens, a fully renovated clubhouse and grill, and access to beautiful Lake Toccoa. Several public facilities are also located on-site, including the Pavilion at Lake Toccoa and the Boat House at Lake Toccoa, both available for public use and enjoyment. Rental of these sites for a private event is also available.
Currahee Vineyard & Winery
In 2008 Marvin Dunson began to think about using the family farm to produce wines. The family farm, at the base of beautiful Currahee Mountain, had once been an apple orchard owned by Marvin's parents. By 2009 planting had begun that would ultimately lead to award winning wines.
Henderson Falls Park
Immediately adjacent to downtown, this park includes 25 acres of scenic beauty full of play areas, an amphitheater, tennis courts, picnic pavillions, a beautiful waterfall, covered bridge, and nature trail. It's a pleasant place to visit and picnic if you are in town to see the main attraction of Toccoa Falls or heading north to Tallulah Falls or Clayton. Open April to October from 7 am to 8 pm and November to March from 8 am to 7 pm.
Currahee Military Museum
The Currahee Military Museum and Toccoa's annual Currahee Military Weekend celebrate and preserve the legacy of Camp Toccoa, a bold experiment designed to take men directly from civilian life to the battlefields of World War II as paratroopers. The Stephens County Historical Society maintains the Currahee Military Museum at the site of the old train depot where soldiers arrived before they made the five mile hike to Camp Toccoa. The Museum houses photos, documents and memorabilia of World War II.
