Alpine Helen Live Cam

Helen is a small city located in White County, Georgia, USA. What makes Helen unique is its distinctive Bavarian-style architecture and its emphasis on tourism. The city's history is closely tied to its transformation from a struggling logging town into a popular tourist destination with a strong German cultural theme.

In the early 20th century, Helen was a typical southern Appalachian town that relied heavily on the timber industry. However, by the late 1960s, the town's economy began to decline as the logging industry faced challenges. To revitalize the local economy, a group of businesspeople and community leaders decided to transform Helen into a tourist destination.
