Take a trip off the beaten path and discover one of North Georgia’s most unique roadside stops! 🚌🎨 The School Bus Graveyard gives retired school buses a whole new life as colorful works of art. Wander through rows of buses covered in creative designs and see how something ordinary can become completely unexpected.
Just a short drive from Gainesville, it’s a fun stop to add to your next North Georgia adventure! 📸 The owners prefer that visitors call ahead before stopping by, so be sure to plan ahead before your visit.
