Pickens

Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Jasper is the county seat of Pickens County and has grown as the closest mountain-adjacent exurb north of Atlanta on GA-515 and GA-5. The county has attracted retirees and second-home buyers priced out of Cherokee County. The Marble Festival in October celebrates the genuine white marble quarrying industry here — the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were carved from Pickens County marble, which is a specific fact worth knowing. Growing but the social infrastructure is limited to the modest downtown Jasper area; better as a mountain access point than a standalone social destination.
