Dalton Distillery Tour
Dalton Distillery was opened
in 2015 by Chuck Butler and
Master Distiller, Raymond Butler.
The 100 year old family recipe
moonshine, called Raymond’s
Reserve, is a staple of
Northwest Georgia spirits. The
Dalton Distillery recently launched
its latest product, TazaRay, a
sunflower seed distilled bourbon.
Dalton Distillery only uses locally
grown Georgia sunflower seeds.
TazaRay is a gluten free spirit
and sold at the Distillery and
numerous liqueur stores and
bars in Georgia and Tennessee.
The Dalton Distillery is open for
public tours Monday through
Saturday 10am until 5pm.
Please call ahead for tours. The
Distillery routinely offers bourbon
and moonshine samples.

Civil War Railroad
Tunnel and Museum Tour
Just 5 miles North of Downtown
Dalton stands a true marvel of
engineering. Built completely
by hand in just 22 months, the
historic Western & Atlantic
Railroad Tunnel was completed in
1850. It was later abandoned
in 1928 when a larger parallel
tunnel was opened nearby.
Visitors can take guided tours
through the entire length of
1,477-foot tunnel, where steam
from the original trains’ exhaust
is still visible on the ceiling.
The museum contains interesting
artifacts from the tunnel, along
with railroad memorabilia
including an original section of
19th century strap rail and a
fine display of the “Sherman
Necktie” method of destroying
the rails during the Civil War.
The Clisby Austin house, built
before the Civil War, still stands
today. The tour through the
home displays how both Union
General Sherman and
Confederate General Johnson
occupied the home while
relaying the history of the home
and the family who owned it.
