Conyers - Georgia - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

The charming city of Conyers in Georgia is close to the excitement of the large city of Atlanta, yet it offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Conyers offers visitors a distinctive charm and style that cannot be found anywhere else. The first stop should be the Welcome Center where the knowledgeable staff will be able to provide you with all the information you need for a pleasurable vacation.

The streets of the old town are alive with history at the Conyers Depot. This is a popular tourist attraction as a landmark railroad depot that only stopped working in the last three decades. Tour the Monastery of the Holy Ghost, where Benedictine monks have lived and prayed in the Spanish style buildings. Railroad history still lives on with the Dinky, only one of three steam engines in the world. This locomotive was once used to transport cotton to the textile mills. The Haralson Covered Bridge is a delight to history lovers because the Haralson Mill House, an old general store, an old mill site and a blacksmith shop surround it.
