Guyton is a postcard for a small Southern town with its picturesque Main Street and neighborhoods. Its relaxed and laid-back manner offers a nice escape from the city bustle if you’re looking for the quiet appeal of the country. But there’s more to Guyton – it has good schools, a healthy mix of local and chain shops & restaurants, and a thriving downtown commercial. It is surrounded by natural wonders and is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Yet it is just 25 miles north of Savannah, an easy commute for its many residents who work in Savannah.
Access to quality schools can be a major factor in your search for a home if you are a parent with school age children. Guyton is part of the Effingham County School System: Guyton Elementary School, Sandhill Elementary School, Effingham County Middle School, Effingham County High School are some of the schools closest to Guyton. The excellent school system is attracting newcomers and is one of the reasons this area is one of the fastest-growing in Georgia. Low student / teacher ratios and innovative instructional programs are enabling students to perform better than the state average. Strong support from parents, civic groups and businesses also contribute to the quality and success of the school programs.
Effingham County draws history buffs and nature lovers alike with its historic downtowns and nature backroads, bike routes and river trails. Organized kayak and canoe paddle trips are available during the summer along the Savannah and Ogeechee rivers allowing for a meandering exploration of scenic waterways dotted with thousand year old trees and a variety of dazzling wildlife. Steel Bridge Boat Landing in Highway 119, Guyton is one of a series of river landings and access points for the Ogeechee River.
The Guyton Rail Trail is about a mile of trail that runs along part of the old decommissioned corridor of the Central of Georgia Railway. It is the county’s only rails-to-trails park open to runners, walkers and bikers alike. The trail also hosts the community’s annual “Sale Along the Trail” event. More information for this and other nearby trails can be found here. Biking enthusiasts are also blazing trails around the Effingham bike trails.
For a relaxing break and taste of Southern charm & hospitality, head to the Butterducks Winery. A local winery and vineyard celebrating its 15th year where they offer wine flight tastings with products from their gift shop. A winery tour is held twice a year for their customers to step behind the scene with the winemaker to learn how their wines and unusual flavor combinations are made.
Studier’s Honeypot is another local specialty store in Guyton where they sell honey and all things bee –related. Family-owned since 1940, it was started as an apiary business that also rents hives to farmers from South Carolina to Florida. Recently it added this storefront to offer an assortment of honey-based items such as soap and skin care products. But raw honey remains as its core product with the much sought Tupelo honey.
Guyton is served by the Effingham Health System, which encompasses five Family Medicine locations (one in Guyton) and a host of specialty care centers. By developing partnerships with regional specialists, EHS is bringing quality care close to home assuring that expert care is within easy access.
