Excursion: Boston, GA | Saturday, September 12, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Hit the road with the Thomasville History Center on March 14 as we continue our 2026 Excursions series with a day trip to Boston, Georgia. Explore historic towns of Old Thomas County, go behind the scenes of churches and homes, and discover what makes our region unique alongside your fellow history lovers.
While Boston may be the second oldest town in the county, it’s current location was not where its founders originally started. In the 1860s the community shifted the town two miles down the road to be closer to the railroad station. Formally incorporated in 1870, Boston has since remained a bustling town complete with a Carnegie Library that still serves the community’s appetite for literacy. The town supports not only a strong agricultural community but also a thriving business sector in their historic downtown.
Transportation is provided, with the option to drive separately if preferred. Lunch is not included. Tickets are available for purchase online, and a detailed itinerary will be shared with registered participants closer to the excursion date.
