About Rutherford College
Rutherford College is a quiet Burke County community named after the 19th-century school that once anchored the area. Though the college eventually merged into modern-day Brevard College, the town kept the name and grew into a peaceful residential spot right beside Lake Rhodhiss and the Catawba River. It is the kind of small town where life moves at a relaxed pace, giving residents easy access to boating and fishing on the water while keeping them just minutes from everyday conveniences in Morganton and Hickory.
