A place to write and paint and sing. To find and renew creativity while surrounded by spiral-vined gardens, creaky wraparound porches and towering magnolias. To walk among the whispers of friendly ghosts and pastoral splendor. Quiet nights and productive, inspiring days, imaginative minds awakening, sweet music originating, the satisfaction of a finished page or canvas. The Bowers House Writers’ and Creative Retreat offers workspace for artists’ and academic residency programs, overnight seminars and game-day lodging in an historic 100-year-old railway town hotel that time forgot.
