Alpharetta History Walk

 
 
 
Step back in time using the complimentary Alpharetta History Walk brochure, available at the Downtown Alpharetta Welcome Center, and explore the earlier days of this beautiful city. Seventeen historical markers, located within walking distance of one another, tell the story of Alpharetta’s past. You’ll learn what industry used to drive the city’s economy and what buildings served uniquely different purposes than their modern-day functions. Plus, there’s no better time to bring up a discussion of your own family’s history. So gather the grandparents and bring along the youngsters – this walk down memory lane is not to be missed!
