The Southern Loop, a collaborative marketing effort of antique stores and gift shops on a trail from Fairburn to LaGrange, provides new searches for the old. After a restful night at one of our hotels, swing into Cakes by Debbie for a homemade treat.

Take the back road (Highway 29) to Hogansville. Find treasures at William & Mary’s Antiques and Collectibles. The Hogansville Coffee Company, with books and an art gallery, is just one of the many stores you’ll enjoy exploring. Chat about your “finds” over lunch at Roger’s Bar-B-Que and then head south to LaGrange.

Downtown LaGrange features Bradley’s Antiques, Ritzy Roost, a consignment shop and marketplace, and Marketplace at Lafayette Square. Save enough money to swing into West Point for shopping at Sweet Georgia Brown and dining at Johnny’s Pizza.

Visit West Point Downtown Development Authority to find businesses.
