Historic Plaque Program

The historic preservation of Toccoa is overseen by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC).  For more information on the HPC, please visit the City of Toccoa website.

To honor the historic buildings in Downtown Toccoa, Main Street Toccoa has placed Historic Plaques on the historically significant buildings in downtown.  There are currently over 50 buildings in downtown with plaques on them.  Main Street Toccoa has also created an historic plaque walking guide that will allow you to take a self-guided tour of the historic plaques in the city.

To start the tour, please park at the Currahee Military Museum, located at 160 North Alexander Street.   You will circle through downtown and end at the Schaefer Center, located across the street from the Currahee Military Museum.  The route is about a mile and a half.  The ground is fairly flat with only a few small hills.  The entire route is paved.

See the Walking Guide attached below. This walking guide is also available in print format at the Main Street office free of charge.

Please note that the current businesses listed for each of the historic plaque handouts may not be accurate. Like the history depicted in these links, these handouts also serve as a "snapshot of Toccoa's history."
