EXPERIENCE Lawrenceville!
As the second oldest city next to Atlanta, Lawrenceville long ago became a hub of activity as well as a community that openly embraced visitors and newcomers alike. Today, the best of Southern tradition and 21st Century amenities merge to make our Crepe Myrtle City a prime destination for individuals and families coming to North Georgia.
Our revitalized downtown historic district offers an array of sightseeing, shopping, dining and entertainment within walking distance. Take a Lawrenceville Ghost Tour, enjoy an array of professional stage productions at the Aurora Theatre, hear live music in venues along the town square, or visit interesting landmarks, such as the Historic Gwinnett Courthouse grounds and galleries, and the Female Seminary. Go shopping for antiques and original art. Have the pleasure of delectable dining—from hip to home-style. Depending on the date, experience lawn concerts, farmers’ markets, art exhibitions, and seasonal celebrations.
Area attractions for all ages include Discover Mills, a retail outlet for high-end merchants and manufacturers with medieval dinner theatre, bowling and games, family golf, an 18-theatre movie house, and more. Lawrenceville is also hometown to the Gwinnett Braves Minor League Baseball and new stadium.
Since all major roads converge here, Lawrenceville is a convenient place to stay while visiting the hot and historic spots of Gwinnett and Greater Atlanta.
