A Charming Bed and Breakfast in Rome
By Charlotte Pennington

Rome, Georgia was established in 1834 and has a rich and interesting background filled with several battles. In 1849 an eighteen mile long section of railroad was completed was called the Rome Railroad in 1890. This was used to ship cotton to and from Rome. Rome becomes a hub for railroad and steamboat trading and delivery and by 1873 was a major contributor to the cotton industry.

In 1886 Rome was devastated by major flooding from the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers and historians say the water was high enough a steamboat traveled through town. When the dam at Allatoona was completed, flooding in Rome and the surrounding area in the valley were a thing of the past. Rome blossomed over the next several years, overcoming many hardships to become the wonderful city it is today. The visitor to this Georgia city can find many wonderful sights and locations of historical interest to make their stay a memorable one.
