Trolley Stops
:00 Braselton Brothers Department Store, 9924 Davis St.
The historic Braselton mercantile has been transformed into a downtown shopping and dining destination alongside the Town Green. The exposed brick walls and classic architecture of the Braselton Brothers Department Store, originally built in 1904, now house an American steakhouse, authentic French creperie, local bakery, taproom, and more unique shops inside The 1904. The Braselton Brewing Company, civic center and parking deck are right across the street.
:03 Braselton Library,
15 Brassie Lane
Still in historic downtown, the Braselton Library trolley stop is a short walk from antique shopping, more dining and nightlife, and a general store featuring Georgia Grown products. This stop also offers access to the Braselton Park, which features a splash pad, playground, pavilion and tennis courts.
:15 The Falls of Braselton,
Fisk Falls Drive
Residents of The Falls of Braselton hop onto the trolley at this clubhouse stop, but visitors are welcome to request a special stop nearby at the Mulberry RiverWalk. After taking a photo at the Insta-worthy trailhead mural, walkers will enjoy this serene, 2-mile nature trail.

The Reunion trolley stop is primarily a pickup point for residents of this lovely community known for its fabulous holiday light displays. However, the golf course and restaurant are reason enough for visitors to make the trip to Reunion Hall.

Town History
Preserving our story
A great deal of Downtown Braselton’s charm lies in its history. That doesn’t only involve the people and stories that made the town all that it is today, but also the unique collection of buildings in which they lived and worked. Historic preservation is a core value of the Town of Braselton, and you’ll find many historic buildings repurposed for modern functions. Visit a boutique or restaurant at the Braselton Bros. Department Store. Go antiquing at the historic schoolhouse. Enjoy a brew at the old cotton gin. Explore more Braselton history on the Town of Braselton’s website.

While the town of Braselton sits 45 minutes north of Atlanta, things run at a different pace here. Sometimes it’s fast—like a 130-mph Ferrari at Petit Le Mans or karting at Lanier Raceplex—and sometimes it’s slow—like a luxurious spa treatment at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, or al fresco dining in historic downtown.
