OAK HILL - Home of Martha Berry

Welcome to Oak Hill and the Martha Berry Museum, one of the finest attractions in Georgia! Martha Berry was raised in Rome, Georgia at the beautiful home of Oak Hill. She was very conscious of the need for education among the children of the nearby mountains. Her early vision was to educate children in order to provide a path out of poverty. She devoted her energy toward a school for boys that included a work program. Berry College was eventually the result of her vision and remains as a work related college today. You can tour Oak Hill as well as the nearby buildings that were the beginnings of the school. Be sure to also see the Martha Berry Museum and the Colonial Revival Gardens. And for those of you that are movie buffs, Oak Hill was used in the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" for use as the family mansion. You may find more information at www.berry.edu/oakhill/. Enjoy your visit!
