Get to know more about RTR and its contributions to Rutherfordton.

Rutherfordton has been a Main Street Community for 35 years. What started out in 1990 as a group of volunteers working on a committee called Rutherford Town evolved into an organization in 1995 called Rutherford Town Revitalization. Look at some of RTR's recent impacts and view our history for a full list of projects and contributions over the last 35 years.

 

Help us celebrate 30 years as an organization and donate towards future projects that will make Rutherfordton better and stronger!
