Braselton dates back to the late 19th century when William Harrison Braselton, married Susan Hosch, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Braselton purchased approximately 800 acres of land from Mr. G. W. Smith, Sr., and established a homestead there. By 1876, the area began to grow as a center for farming and commerce, attracting more settlers and businesses. Located on busy I-85 between the metropolises of Atlanta Georgia and Greenville South Carolina (and onwards to Charlotte North Carolina), it's been growing ever since. The town's city hall was originally the residence of the Braselton family, later functioning as a boarding house and hotel. In 1989, the city acquired it and renovated it. Today, it houses, the town hall, police department and city water offices. The grounds include a gazebo that houses the original Braselton School Bell and there are a few other interesting pieces to see. Plenty of parking in their lot while you explore. And feel free to wander up the road to Braselton Brewing which is awesome. [Review 2026 of 2024 - 766 in Georgia - 23048 overall] read more
