At Macon's Hay House, a significant and stunning piece of history still stands in a most spectacular way. This incredible 18,000-square-foot antebellum mansion was originally built in 1855 and amazingly survived the War between the States. Its Renaissance Revival style is completed by several notable details that include carved plaster adorned with 24-karat gold leaves and colorful stained glass windows. Tours of this historic attraction are available year round at the top of the hour between 10am and 3pm. Call ahead or check the website for times or to make special arrangements for larger tours.

It doesn't matter if you want to teach the kids about the finer points of fishing, how to swim or if you just want to get them out of the house for awhile. What does matter is that when you take the whole family to the Tobesofkee Recreation Area, there will be plenty of fun waiting for them. Fishing for largemouth and striped bass is reason enough to get excited about your visit, but so are the inviting shoreline areas, the swimming and water sports that are available, as well as the large picnic areas that double as comfortable places to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Some of Georgia's most scenic and challenging recreation trails can be found at Hard Labor Creek State Park in nearby Rutledge. The elevation and difficulty is relatively steady, as the trail features minimal elevation gain. This hiking trail stretches out for 2.2 total miles and derives its minor level of difficulty from a few winds and turns along the way.
