Today, the Baugh House is a history museum managed by the Fannin County Heritage Foundation. Among significant exhibits, the museum has the first “library” in Blue Ridge, quilts and weaving looms in the textile rooms, stage artifacts, and much more.

The 270-foot-long swinging bridge over the Toccoa River is the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi River. The bridge can be reached via hiking two fun trails in Fannin County – the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Duncan Ridge National Recreation Trail.

The Baugh House Historic Museum is located in a home that Blue Ridge mason James W. Baugh built for his family in 1890 on West First Street. The house is architecturally significant as a "rare two-story masonry I-house residence with Folk Victorian-style elements." For the construction, James Baugh and his brothers, also masons, made their own bricks on site. The house and the property were deeded by the family to the city of Blue Ridge in 1987. Today, the Baugh House is a history museum managed by the Fannin County Heritage Foundation. Among significant exhibits, the museum has the first “library” in Blue Ridge, quilts and weaving looms in the textile rooms, stage artifacts, and much more.

Chester Brunnenmeyer’s rustic, inviting bar and grill just calls to you to sit with an old friend and catch up on the last decade. Order the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned or the Wookie with house-infused pineapple habanero tequila…or pour a glass of a regional craft beer. For snacks, I say to pick the trout dip and a pile of wings — 50 should do. After all, you have so much to talk about.

Cantaberry is your go-to option for delicious, simple eats: soup and sandwich combos that keep you going all day. Our pick is the Tomato Basil Soup with the Cantaberry Club. That tangy tomato dressing on the sandwich is the perfect complement to the soup. Ask for an extra slice of Swiss.

Fightingtown Tavern is my go-to lunch location…with or without kiddos. The house-made pork rinds with sesame peanut sauce is something I dream about between visits. Everyone I know loves Fightingtown for their burgers..but I’ll be honest, the omg! salad is my staple. It is so amazing! But it’s also the vibe (and tunes) that keep us coming back. It just feels like home here.

Masseria Kitchen sits in historic downtown Blue Ridge, and excels at connecting the Mediterranean and Appalachia. There is plenty offered beyond just pizza, for sure, but we dig the pie and suggest the nightly special for something memorable (gluten-free available.) You can go traditional and pair with a craft beer, but the bar team here is also talented enough to whip up something stronger that will match your entree perfectly. For dessert, the Nutella pie is high on our list!
