Oglethorpe County is a place where businesses attuned to the authenticity and deeper roots of rural living find fertile ground. Where small ventures like niche farming thrive next to large commercial farms to produce the products that supply a hungry urban economy with food. Here granite quarries and timberlands contribute responsibly to the Oglethorpe's economic growth, and historic buildings and outdoor treasures draw in travelers from far and wide.
Oglethorpe is a place where community still matters. Where it’s easy to get involved and, for that matter, hard not to. Where volunteers are the soul of the community serving as coaches, boosters, firemen and youth group leaders.
“This is a place where your voice can still be heard. And where, at the end of a long day, it’s quiet enough to hear your own thoughts, too.”
