Todd and Elizabeth Baggarly, the operating proprietors, have over 30 years experience in the restaurant industry. Together, they have designed an early 1900's decor, with a 1920's Brunswick bar, antique chandeliers, exposed brick with beautiful 12 foot curtains lining the walls, as well as pictures of the history of beautiful Senoia. You'll definitely take a step back in time when you enter the room. Founders Restaurant serves up a contemporary Southern cuisine. From classic Southern favorites like Fried Green Tomatoes, to contemporary Seared Ahi Tuna served served on a bed of savory red cabbage, their appetizer selection is a great start to a wonderful meal.

Senoia becomes Woodbury for The Walking Dead


Be careful which storefronts you try to walk through if you visit Senoia, because some of them only have walls behind them. The fake bookstore, bank, law office and travel agency are all part of the fictional town of Woodbury, Georgia. It's the setting of a zombie show called "The Walking Dead," which is slowly taking over Senoia, Georgia. The downtown storefronts are right up against each other, and they're pretty convincing.

"I tried to go into 'Crabapple Books' thinking we had a new book store in town, but that obviously wasn't the case," said community radio host Uncle Rich.

In the third season of the AMC show, which resumes in October, Woodbury is a lone safe zone in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.
