Historic Downtown Shopping District History

Thomasville’s Historic Downtown is a shopper’s dream-come-true, offering dozens of charming retail shops and restaurants. Our award-winning Main Street Program has spurred the rehabilitation of numbers of downtown buildings and has been a catalyst for hundreds of new businesses. Thomasville was designated a Great American Main Street City in 1998 and in 1999 was named one of a dozen top places to visit in the U.S. by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
