Myrtle Hill Cemetery

Reviewed By FloridagirlP-cola - Pensacola, United States

We walked around this cemetery during the day and enjoyed reading the old tombstones and admiring the views from the top. We also went up one night to see Rome lights from a different perspective. It is not lit and was a bit treacherous at night. it would have been safer if we had taken the road at night instead of wandering up front side of hill.

Statute of Ellen Axson Wilson

Reviewed By 871stevew

Ellen Axson Wilson was the first wife of President Woodrow Wilson. She was a former resident of Rome, and she is buried in the family plot in Myrtle Hill Cemetery. The statue captures her love of art and nature. It's a significant memorial to an important person. When you are in Rome, take a few minutes to walk in front of the Forum to the Town Green and view this wonderful statue.
