Let your love of military history and aviation take flight when you visit the Museum of Aviation. This attraction is located on the Robbins Air Force Base. You will find more than 89 military aircraft on display that include an F-15 Eagle, P-40 Warhawk, and an SR-71 Blackbird, which holds the distinction of being the fastest plane on earth. Informative movies produced by the Smithsonian are screened hourly. There is also a museum shop and cafe on the site as well.

Echoes of the Civil War still resound in Macon at the historically-rich Cannonball House and Museum. See where an actual cannonball plummeted through the exterior of a white-columned Greek Revival-styled home that eventually stood as a symbol of the nation's struggle against itself. The house is directly adjacent to the Macon Confederate Museum that features actual weapons used in the Civil War, photos, artifacts, uniforms, and crystal and china pieces from the period.

You'll feel like you're visiting an old friend the minute you step into Gottwals.

Whether it's a musical performance, a dramatic production or a graceful ballet recital, the magnitude of each musical note and movement of each of the figures on stage will become even more dramatic when you see it at Macon's Grand Opera House.

Performers as diverse as Will Rogers, Sandra Berndardt, and Harry Houdini have all spent time in the limelight here as the have dazzled audiences with their unique talents.
