Summerville, Georgia in the northwestern part of the state is made up of less than 5,000 residents. Founded in 1838 as the Chattooga County seat, it was named because it was a popular summer resort town. Today, it has a historic downtown with shops and restaurants, but it may be best known for Howard Finster’s Paradise Gardens. The artist lived here and visitors can see the property-turned-museum nearby.
