Few cities compare to the blend of natural beauty and character found in Georgia’s Rome.  Where the rivers meet and the mountains begin, Rome is a city that has proudly maintained historical charm while nurturing a flourishing future. Located just one hour from Atlanta and Chattanooga, and two hours from Birmingham, Rome has a strong arts community, a passion for history, and a love for the three rivers winding through the heart of the city.

CULTURE

The arts flourish in live community theatre groups, such as the Rome Shakespeare Festival and musical offerings such as the Rome Symphony Orchestra (founded by a member of the Harbin family nearly a century ago), and the Rome International Film Festival.

RECREATION

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, there is much to relish here. For sports fans, family nights at the ballpark cheering on the minor league Rome Braves (2016 South Atlantic League Champions) are fun-filled and convenient. Exciting, running, biking, and paddling events throughout the year take locals on beautiful trail systems winding along rivers and spacious parks in historic downtown areas. Scattered throughout the region are hiking trails, caves, and mountains to explore and mighty rivers perfect for canoeing and kayaking.

EDUCATION

Educational opportunities in Northwest Georgia include strong public and private schools such as Darlington School, one of the leading day and boarding schools in the Southeast, and cheering on youth and high school sports teams such as the Rome Wolves football team (2016 Region 5A State Champions) is an unforgettable experience. Our colleges and universities include Berry College, chosen as one of the “Smartest Liberal Arts Colleges in the World” by Business Insider.
