Groom balances big-sky horizons with small-town ease, offering a friendly pace along historic Route 66 and I-40. Drivers know it for the playful leaning water tower and the awe-inspiring The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, a 190-foot landmark with a contemplative campus of sculptures and exhibits that welcomes visitors year-round through its official ministry site. The area’s Route 66 heritage runs deep; plan scenic detours with resources from Texas Route 66 and the National Park Service Route 66 program, then return home to quiet streets and neighborly porches.
Families appreciate the personal touch at Groom ISD, where small class sizes, strong academics, and spirited UIL athletics create a supportive school community. Everyday needs are close by, while wider shopping, dining, and medical options in Amarillo are an easy drive. For weekend adventure, trade prairie views for canyon walls at Palo Duro Canyon State Park—Texas’s grand canyon—managed by the state parks system. History buffs enjoy a short trip to the Square House Museum in nearby Panhandle for regional stories and artifacts.
