Begin with the people behind the familiar streets
Senoia Area Historical Society and Museum occupies the Carmichael Home at 6 Couch Street. The society purchased the house in 1990 and opened the museum in July 2010. Five display rooms and a research library carry the story from the Creek Nation and William McIntosh to the contemporary Walking Dead exhibit.
The film display belongs to a broader collection about local life. The society interprets production activity as part of the town’s economy and social history, alongside earlier industries. Visitors expecting a large television-prop attraction should understand this community-museum purpose.
Current opening is Saturday and Sunday from one to four, with free admission. The society’s 2026 digital archive adds photographs, documents and family records that can be explored after leaving town. Its current timetable supersedes an older summer schedule still quoted elsewhere on the municipal site.
Let the lake provide a change of setting
Marimac Lakes offers public lake-and-park access year-round at 140 Pylant Street. It provides a quieter setting between downtown activities, without requiring a claim of wilderness or an invented wildlife encounter.
Fishing is catch-and-release. A state license is required, and visiting nonresidents also need a city fishing permit obtained at City Hall, 80 Main Street. Residents and visitors have different municipal rules. Stone Lodge rental is a separate arrangement, not proof of casual access inside the building.
A complete daily opening schedule was not established in the municipal material. Respect posted access, particularly if an early or late visit is important to your plans.
Book the excursion in the correct community
Walkin Dead Haralson Tours and Events operates south of Senoia, in Haralson. Its published route includes the Esco Feed Mill, cotton gin and meeting barn associated with The Walking Dead. These locations belong to a different excursion from walking along Senoia’s Main Street.
Use the current shop address, 10 Line Creek Road; the operator warns that its video shows an old location. The store opens Friday through Sunday, but the regular tour page lists Saturday departures at ten and one and Sunday at one. Confirm the dated booking.
Regular visits do not normally include zombie actors. Appropriate walking shoes and arranged return transport matter because the operator warns of wet grass, weak mobile coverage and unreliable ride-share pickup. Back in Senoia, recognize houses from the public street: the historical society explicitly reminds visitors that many film locations remain occupied private homes.
