Charming and Lively
Smyrna, Georgia, is a quaint and historic town located in Northern Georgia. As part of the Atlanta metropolitan area, Smyrna is only 10 miles from downtown Atlanta—offering the best of both small-town suburbs and big-city excitement.
Smyrna is rich in Civil War history and is home to two significant battlegrounds. History buffs will love exploring these historical sites as well as the Smyrna History Museum.
In addition to history, you’ll find inviting trails, parks, and open spaces to reconnect with nature. The city features Taylor Brawner Park, a 10-acre natural park with a
gazebo, amphitheater, open areas, and trails. Smyrna is also home to the beginning of the Silver Comet Trail, a 61.5-mile rail-trail that runs from Smyrna to the Alabama state line.
Another famous landmark is Concord’s Covered Bridge, a small one-way bridge that dates back to the 1870s. This unique bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (one of only 16 in all of Georgia!) and draws tourists from all over to see its impressive structure and preservation.
The Power of Community
Just as seniors love Smyrna, Smyrna loves its seniors. As with any small town, Smyrna, Georgia, is full of Southern hospitality, respect, and community. Amid the pandemic, the Smyrna Police Department partnered with the mayor to provide grocery and medicine delivery services to older adults in the area to reduce exposure to the coronavirus. It’s small acts of kindness like this that truly emphasize the importance of community and kindness here in Smyrna.
