Jackson Hill Trail System

Historic Jackson Hill was the location of Fort Norton, an earthen fortification system which defended Rome during the Civil War. During the Great Depression, the area was redeveloped by the Works Progress Administration, which included the Rome Civic Center, rock bridges and an amphitheater (now the Labyrinth of Rome).
