More Digs on Rome Ga. This is in Cave Spring GA and is a 20 min drive from Rome Ga. I took some info from the town site to make it easy to see but the cave is known for the DEVILS STOOL, and the pure water that flows from the cave. A Boys school ran by the GA baptist convention. Throws around some names of owners so i think it needs some more digs. Also the layout of the city limits line on goog earth its wacked its worth taking a look at.
Cave Spring’s natural limestone cave was being created, with its impressive stalagmites and legendary “Devil’s Stool” formation. You’ll welcome its constant, 57-degree coolness on a hot summer’s day. The Cave, located in Rolater Park just off the town square, is open daily from May to September; 11am-5pm Monday through Friday, and 10am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday, and by appointment at other times.
Also In 1838 the Manual Labor School for boys was established by the Cave Spring Baptist Church to teach the skills of farming and other ways to make a living. The town’s famous cave and spring were a part of the school grounds. In 1839 six small cottages were erected as dormitories, and the first classroom was built.
Lott Hearn bequeathed an endowment to the school in 1846, which resulted in the name change to Lott Hearn Manual Labor School. In 1903 the school was reorganized under the direction of the Georgia Baptist Convention and was known as Hearn Academy, a preparatory school for future college students. Because of a fire the original building was replaced in 1910 with the present facility. The school closed in 1925, and today the building is used for many special events.
