Georgia’s Rome Office of Tourism is inviting residents and visitors to step back in time with a series of story-driven tours highlighting the people, places, and events that shaped Rome’s history.
Upcoming tours include the Where Romans Rest tours at Myrtle Hill Cemetery on Sunday, May 3, with tour times at 1:30, 2:00, and 3:00 PM. Myrtle Hill Cemetery was established in 1857 and is the final resting place of more than 20,000 people, including Civil War soldiers, political figures, and Ellen Axson Wilson, wife of President Woodrow Wilson.
Other offerings include the Sulzbacher Roman Holiday Riverboat Tours on the Coosa River, Rome Clocktower Public Tours, and Downtown History Tours aboard the Roman Chariots. Each tour focuses on Rome’s historic landmarks, river heritage, architecture, and preservation efforts.
Tickets are available online at RomeGeorgia.org/Tours or in person at Georgia’s Rome Welcome Center locations on Civic Center Drive and Broad Street in Rome. Ticket proceeds benefit local historic preservation efforts.
