Dining Review: Caruso’s – Dahlonega

Dining Review: Caruso’s – DahlonegaDining Review: Caruso's – Dahlonega

This review is two weeks late – but better late than never!  Terri and I were up in one of our favorite towns in northeast Georgia – Dahlonega – we decided to give Caruso’s a try.  We’ve been coming up here for years but for some reason had never eaten here.  Yea I know, how did THAT happen?

It was fantastic.

We were a little upset that we had been missing out on this place for so long.  The restaurant is right there on the square so it’s very convenient from just about anywhere in the Dahlonega area.  You can park anywhere on the square

Lumpkin County – Cities, History and Facts

Lumpkin CountyLumpkin County was created in 1832 from three existing counties and was named for Wilson Lumpkin who was a former governor of Georgia. It is a little known fact that Lumpkin’s daughter, named Martha Lumpkin Compton, was the inspiration for Atlanta, Georgia’s previous name of Marthasville.  Her middle name, Atalanta, has also been claimed to be the reason Marthasville was named Atlanta.  That may or may not be true, but it makes for fascinating reading.

The Cherokee Indians flourished here until gold was discovered; they were eventually removed on The Trail of Tears.
