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!

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!

The Allman Brothers Band Museum is a fantastic place to visit to see 2 floor filled with amazing memorabilia of the band (& others). I was completely fascinated with everything that was to see!
