The fact that Native Americans were here before America became America says plenty about their historical significance. Their contribution, culture and stories are all rightfully celebrated at the Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration held every September. Music, arts, crafts, booths and games are all part of this very entertaining and educational festival. There is much to learn and experience as the gathering is held at the 12,000-year old Ocmulgee National Monument.

Lake Jackson, or Jackson Lake as it is sometimes referred to, is one of the oldest reservoirs in Georgia. Located in southeast of Atlanta in a rural area, the lake is so expansive that it is situated within Jasper, Newton and Butts counties. On of the most stunning features of the lake is the Lloyd Shoals Dam that was built in 1910.

Macon's Cox Capitol Theatre possesses an impressive cachet of classic style. Originally built in 1916, this is the place where area audiences first experienced movies that featured sound, then known as “talkies.” Things have progressed quite impressively here, as the entertainment venue still screens some of today's most acclaimed art films and import titles with the help of state of the art sound and projection equipment. But movies aren't the only attraction here, as live music, touring acts and more are always on the ever-busy marquee.
