There is an amazing selection of interesting activities to
choose from in Wilkes County or nearby. You are sure to find the
perfect activities to create a memorable event that your people
will be talking about for years. Here is a sample. Some of these
activities might appeal to men more than women but no worries.
If a group of women want to tour our armory, go off-roading or
wild hog hunting, they can! Here are a few ideas:
| |
- Activities at
Clark Hill Lake including pontoon boat rides to tour
the lake, fishing or dinner cruises on a houseboat
or cruiser. (Limited to crowd size)
-
National Guard Armory-All kinds of tanks, trucks and
other guy stuff. Very friendly fellows will give you
a tour.
-
Wilkes County
Airport-A vital part of our community that recently
underwent an expansion and is on track to expand to
5000 feet in the not too distant future. This
airport can handle any business jet. It is a full
service airport with a jet porter. The manager is a
friendly and knowledgeable fellow and I can arrange
a tour.
-
Off roading with your
choice of dirt bikes, ATV’s, side x sides, jeeps, 4
x 4’s, rock crawlers. Wow! Your guys will end up
dirty, but have a blast!
-
Washington has 3
museums. We can arrange a riding tour of historical
sites such as the Chennault Plantation or whatever
you are interested in or tour any or all the
museums. One of our local historians also can do a
fascinating walking tour.
-
Plantation Tour-A
plantation tour that can show you how life was in
Wilkes County 200 years ago.
-
Many famous people are
buried in Resthaven Cemetery. An interpretive tour
of this historic cemetery can be arranged. Every
October we have a program put on by the Washington
Historical Society called Resthaven Revisited. This
evening the dead rise up out of their crypts to tell
the attendees about their contributions.
- Ghost Tour-Walking or
riding. It is said that all old houses are haunted.
This is the case in Washington what with all the
antebellum and Victorian homes. If our resident
ghost expert is in town, I can offer a ghost tour.
-
Goodness Grows Nursery
Lexington-This plant nursery is a must see for the
landscape gardener. Goodness Grows is a famous
nursery that has developed some of their own
cultivars and touring the grounds is a wonderful
experience. I suggest a box lunch on their grounds
before or after the tour.
-
Wild hog hunting. Wild
hogs are a big agricultural problem is Georgia. If
you are interested in Wild hog hunting a hunt can be
arranged with a local guide. Your own gun and
hunting license are required.
-
Car Collector’s
Tour-Washington has a Memory Cruisers Club and
several citizens have extensive antique and custom
car collections.
