Ornate, neo-Gothic structure built between 1889 and 1892.
This is a very beautiful church, welcoming congregation to family, friends, and couples. Variety of things to do.

Great small old-fashioned baseball field; home of Macon Bacon minor baseball team. Went here for a baseball game honoring veterans. Built in 1929, today, it is the second-oldest minor league stadium in the country.

Hay House is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark that is owned and operated by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. Guided tours of this antebellum mansion are offered daily.
If you love historic homes, the Hay House is a must! First, we had an excellent guide who was very personable and very informative. The architecture of this home is just amazing. This is the first home that we have ever seen curved pocket doors, unbelievable! If you have the opportunity to get the extended tour then definitely do it. Unfortunately, they weren't offering it when we went due to COVID restrictions, but we would definitely go back just to add that to the tour. It's nice to visit a historic home that actually has almost all of the original details. If you're in Macon, definitely make this one of your stops!

An example of a 19th-century cemetery park.
Rose Hill is where The original (and best) Allman Brothers Band shot many of their promo photos, wrote songs based upon headstones, etc. In addition, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley and, now, Gregory Allman are all buried there alongside one another. The cemetery was established in 1840 and is a beautiful resting place...lots of trees with moss, pine cones, etc, rolling hills; if a cemetery can be called beautiful, then this one is it.

Wonderful old theater with great acoustics and seating. Saw all the Allman Bros tribute bands there on this trip. Some very good, most not so good. Still, a great place to see a concert.

The Sidney Lanier cottage was fascinating. The story of Sidney Lanier is the story of an ordinary man that did extraordinary things. And the legacy that his wife protected and curated. Our tour was fabulous!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this historical home. The museum docent was passionate with the history and furnishings of the home. His passion showed for the civil war -he is a civil war reenactor and had a wealth of knowledge.
