The strikes are plentiful–and that's a good thing–when you spend time hanging out with family and friends at Macon's Gold Cup Bowling. This is an impressive recreation venue to not only play a few frames, but to also relax in the lounge, enjoy a snack or soft drink in the concession area, or check out the latest bowling gear in the pro shop. Leagues play frequently.
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.
