amybrooke Says: You'll have to go across the street to see this. It's where she lived and it's so beautiful. Just turn right out of the college and go up one light. It's up on the left.
amybrooke Says: Stop along the way to see the old mill.
amybrooke Says: Go for hike on this trail. The RR track, which run beside it, once ran all the way from Boston to Atlanta. Really peaceful. Have a picnic.
amybrooke Says: There are a couple around. The larger one can be reserved for weddings if you or your family is an alumni.
cruisingbug Says: The main chapel at Berry College is the site of weekly services, as well as commencement addresses, guest speaker addresses and Mountain Day services. Both Howard K. Smith and Jean-Michel Cousteau spoke here in my days as a student. On the morning of Mountain Day, students...
Normandy Buildings - Mountain Campus
cruisingbug Says: The Normandy Dairy Barns are an integral part of Berry's agricultural education history. Many Berry students worked (and lived) at the dairy barns, as well as just visited to see the baby calves. According to Berry's email newsletter, the new WinShape Retreat Centre, which...
cruisingbug Says: This is a view of Evans Hall, once called Trustees Hall. It has been renovated since this photo was taken, though. This was my "home" as an English major during my years at Berry. I also worked in this building, running movies in the auditorium on Saturday nights. The...
cruisingbug Says: The Ford Buildings, so named because their construction was financed by Henry Ford, are the architectural heart of the Berry College campus. The Gothic structures are used for both housing (pictured are the East and West Mary dorms) and classroom space, as well as the new...
cruisingbug Says: Barnwell Chapel is in the center of the log buildings below the Ford Buildings on the main campus. The chapel is used for special services (such as a monthly Catholic mass) as well as weddings. Here you see my friend Jenny in a pouf of white after her ceremony here.
Guest Cottages: Log Cabins in the Pines
cruisingbug Says: For a reasonable rate, you can arrange to stay on campus at the guest cottages, located below the Ford Buildings. The cottages are maintained by Berry College students. Rooms have their own bathrooms. A unique way to enjoy your stay in Rome or at Berry. No amenities, just a...
cruisingbug Says: Deer! They're everywhere! The deer at Berry vastly outnumber the students. Be careful driving, especially along the Stretch Road between the Mountain Campus and the Main Campus, as well as walking across fields at night. Definitely don't get between a deer and her fawn, as...
cruisingbug Says: The Old Mill at Berry is one of the most photographed sites in Georgia. The mill was built by students in 1930 and is still in use today grinding cornmeal. According to the cornmeal bag the Old Mill is powered by what is considered the largest extant wooden overshot wheel in...
cruisingbug Says: The House o' Dreams was built by Berry students as a place of rest and retreat for Martha Berry. The house is located at the end of a long and winding gravel road accessible from the Mountain Campus. It's as "off the beaten path" as you can get at Berry - and for good...
cruisingbug Says: Berry College doesn't end with the Main Campus. At the north end of the main campus lies the "stretch road" which connects the main campus to the Mountain Campus. The Mountain Campus is the home of Chick-Fil-A scholarship students as well as such classes as animal husbandry...

Mount Berry, Georgia is the home of my alma mater, Berry College. I originally chose Berry because of its beautiful campus - the largest in the U.S. (at the time, at least). Berry has its own post...
