Berry College

 Last week we made a fun road trip to Rome, Georgia the home of Berry College. My sister-in-law Sarah was an expert tour guide of her alma mater. What a fun campus, rich with so much history and culture. The picture above is the former home of Martha Berry, the founder of Berry College. You might remember it as the Carmichael Plantation from the popular movie "Sweet Home Alabama."

The campus is full of interesting architecture, including these gothic style dorms which were funded by Henry Ford himself. 

The largest grist mill in the South is located in the middle of Berry's 30,000 acre campus. The wheel is huge!! 

What a fun way to kick-off our summer with this trip to Berry College!
