Located just 35 miles west of Atlanta, Villa Rica offers the charm of small-town living with the convenience of easy access to Interstate 20, making access to downtown or the airport a breeze. Known as the "City of Gold," Villa Rica proudly claims the site of the first Gold Strike in the United States and is also the hometown of Coca-Cola legend Asa Candler and Gospel Music founder Thomas A. Dorsey.

In Villa Rica, you can stroll through our historic downtown, where crepe myrtles line the raised sidewalks, and old mercantile vibes linger in the air. The downtown area is home to a variety of shops, boutiques, and local eateries, including favorites like Evans Barbecue, Cinema Tavern Sports Bar and Grill, Trading Post Café, and Chat and Choo.

For history buffs, the Pine Mountain Gold Museum offers a fascinating look into the area’s rich past, located on the site of an actual gold strike and featuring West Georgia's only authentic 19th-century gold stamp mill. Don’t miss Wick’s Tavern, the oldest commercial structure in West Georgia, with its beautifully preserved architecture.

Villa Rica’s vibrant community life centers around The Mill, a 2,500-capacity “green space” amphitheater that hosts concerts, festivals, classic car shows, and numerous annual events. The Mill Amphitheater serves as the heart of downtown Villa Rica, encouraging both visitors and residents to gather, celebrate, and enjoy all that this historic town has to offer.
