Edibles: Want to try something very unique? How about dining on a Black Angus Burger in a restored public transportation bus from the 1960's Downtown Atlanta era. The Burger Bus is a unique find and is as tasty as it gets. Want a different cup of coffee? How about coffee beans from whiskey or wine barrels? Barrel House Coffee is unforgettable and you will be back for more, so get your VIP card punched! Looking for a wood fired pizza from a cool food truck? Try Dominic's Wood Fired Food Truck. No visit to North Georgia would be complete without a BBQ fix. Try our favorite place, 1.5 miles away from your front door, Choate BBQ. Try Rock Solid Brewery for a great experience, Ball Ground Tavern is under construction and coming soon. Need to fix a sweet tooth? Try Scooped on Main for some sweets. There's even a downtown butcher shop, Frankfurt Doner and Meats for super thick pork chops, specially crafted brats (try the peach brat); and they sell a "life changing sandwich"...guess you'll have to try it with a name like that.
Ball Ground, Georgia, in Cherokee County, is named because it was first known to be used as a playing field for a sport played by the Cherokee, which required a large flat field. The Cherokee actually won the land in a ball game against the Creeks. The topography of the area later drew farmers to the area as well. Ball Ground was not officially established until 1882, when the railroad was brought through the area. At the time, the town was very small and its economy was heavily based in agriculture. Ball Ground was successful in selling its produce and later marble, for which it is now best known, because of their easy access to the railroad.
Ball Ground is also the site of a historic battle for land between the Cherokee and Creeks in a war that went through the 1740’s and 1750’s. The Battle of Taliwa in Ball Ground was said to be the largest and most decisive battle of the war, and the Cherokee defeated the Creeks there. The Creeks quickly retreated and left the land to the Cherokee, who the county is named after today.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes the importance of Ball Ground mainly for its architecture, which includes Italianate seen in the downtown area and Queen Anne styles seen in the surrounding homes and neighborhoods. The National Register of Historic Places includes 114 buildings and 2 sites in Ball Ground’s Historic District, and most of the buildings are homes. Because of its exceptional history and preserved character, Historic Downtown Ball Ground was placed on the National Register in 2009.
