Much of the local activity centers around Ambassador Baptist College, which brings students, faculty, and campus events to town throughout the school year. Outside of the college, Lattimore is a traditional small Carolina crossroads where neighbors know one another and life stays simple. It makes an appealing home base for anyone seeking quiet surroundings and room to spread out within easy reach of western North Carolina's larger hubs.
