At the time I went they were having a festival of trees Christmas display as well. My out of town guests were impressed. There were some tales of the past on the lower floor that were particularly interesting.

Took my 12 and 13 year old this February and they smiled around every corner. My daughter loved the old school days exhibit and my son read every article on every wall. What a nice way to pay respect to your town and community .

During a recent stop in Rome a friend and I noticed the clock/water tower on one of the 7 hills in town and wondered about the history of the town and stopped in at the museum. Very friendly person working there. There is no admission charge. Interesting small town museum with lots of exhibits about the local history from the indian (native americans -- trail of tears) lottery to Pirelli (north American headquarters). Nice temporary Coca-Cola exhibit from the local bottling plant family (1st bottler way back when). Small gift shop.

Browse the Rome Area History Museum and see the great collection of photographs and memorabilia. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The Museum is also available for lease for private parties and special events.
