- Description:
- Rock City is a tourist attraction on Lookout Mountain that was built around unusual rock formations, the product of millions of years of erosion of the mountain's native sandstone. Opened in May 1932, the attraction gained prominence after owners Garnet and Frieda Carter hired Clark Byers in 1935 to paint "See Rock City" barn advertisements throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States; Byers painted over 900 barn roofs and walls, in nineteen states, by 1969.
