Experience the historic charm and beauty of Roswell

The Georgia Trust Spring Ramble & Annual Meeting
and Georgia Statewide Preservation Conference
April 19-22, 2012
Roswell, Georgia

Let’s Ramble to Roswell!  Mark your calendars and plan to join us for the 2012 Annual Meeting and Spring Ramble on April 20-22, 2012. 

Roswell, Georgia, just north of Atlanta and along the banks of the Chattahoochee River, has a small town ambiance and great natural beauty despite its proximity to the city.  We’ll discover its abundant charm and rich history while visiting grand antebellum homes surrounding Mimosa Boulevard, the homes and shops of Canton Street, a mill village along the banks of Vickery Creek, and several interesting sites just outside of town. 

Friday night we’ll dine alongside the river in a restored cotton mill and Saturday night we’re having a good old fashioned barbeque on the grounds of Barrington Hall, the Greek Revival residence of one of the city’s founders. Sunday’s relaxing brunch will be at Smith Plantation, an antebellum farm complex.

You can come for a day or spend the weekend, exploring everything that historic Roswell has to offer.  More adventurous Ramblers can discover the area on a bike or take a kayak down the ‘Hooch.  Nightlife in Roswell brings out its mystery and charm; Ramblers can take a spine-chilling ghost tour through the historic district, enjoy live theatre, or check out a local pub.

Preservation professionals and enthusiasts should plan to spend an extra day in Roswell, as the Statewide Preservation Conference begins on Thursday, April 19, and finishes up the next afternoon, just as the Spring Ramble begins. You’ll have an opportunity to attend sessions on timely issues and plug into the statewide preservation network.

Whether you plan on attending the conference, touring for one day, spending the weekend, or doing it all, there's something for everyone as we explore the beautiful historic town of Roswell.
