Picturesque downtown, surroundings make Rome a nice getaway

You couldn’t ask for a more scenic backdrop or plentiful downtown than you’ll find in Rome, Ga.

The town is steeped in remnants of its Civil War history and offers a wealth of outdoor and cultural opportunities to locals and tourists alike.

The massive Berry College campus north of town provides a cultural center with numerous activities for visitors.

For a quick getaway, visit the campus, take in a Braves minor league ballgame or try Broad Street’s shops and restaurants.
