Historic Charm Lives on in Buford

Buford is filled with friendly residents, scenic beauty, and access to virtually any recreation you desire

The City of Buford began in 1872 as a depot on the railway line between Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina. These humble beginnings are beautifully preserved in historic downtown Buford. Once nicknamed “The Leather City,” due to its prominence as a large producer of leather products, the historic Tannery Row building, located in downtown Buford, is now home to several popular venues, such as Tannery Row Ale House and Tannery Row Artist Colony.

Tannery Row is not all you will find in historic downtown Buford. Popular dining spots also line Main Street, including Rico’s World Kitchen, Aqua Terra Bistro, and Bare Bones Steakhouse.

The Sylvia Beard Theatre, located with the Community Center, offers state-of-the-art lighting and sound for some of the finest theatrical performances, orchestral presentations, ballets, and movie screenings around.

Christmas lights line the streets of historic downtown Buford during the holiday season, providing a picturesque view of Buford’s hometown charms.
