What's not to love about a quaint southern town with family-owned shops and a know-your-neighbor vibe?

That's Newnan, y'all. Explore historic downtown—with buildings that have been standing since the 1860s—to shop at stores such as Let Them Eat Toffee! or Blue Fern Merchant. The Historic Train Depot is another must-see, featuring a rail museum that takes you back into Newnan history. For a day outside, take a trip to Chattahoochee Bend State Park to walk beautiful paths under canopies of lush, green trees.

Before you take that trip, make sure your home and valuables are as secure as possible with an ADT monitored home security system. Help protect your loved ones with 24/7-monitored security cameras, smoke alarms, and motion sensors.

Once your new place is secure, make sure to blast music from country star native Alan Jackson as you make your way to Carl Miller Park for a day of fun with the kiddos. To end the summer off right, register for the Sunrise on the Square Road Race, a 25-year-old local favorite 5K/10K that lets you enjoy scenic Newnan right before Labor Day.
