You'll thoroughly enjoy the surprisingly modern and entertaining museum/hall of fame. Set up as multiple 'cafes' representing different Georgian musicians, as well as any musician who lived in Georgia at any time, this place is full of memorabilia. Particularly appealing are the music stations set up throughout which enable you to listen to the actual artists' music by way of headphones.

This is Georgia's largest museum dedicated to African-American art, history and culture. 14 galleries, a library and a museum store are devoted to African American achievements. There is a special tribute to Ms. Tubman, known as "The Black Moses", and one of the leaders of the underground railroad during the Civil War. Great collection of historical African memorabilia.

This fine 18,000 square foot antebellum mansion was built in 1855 and managed to survive the War Between the States. It is known for its beautiful stained-glass windows and Italian Renaissance Revival style architecture which was uncommon for residential use at the time of its construction. The house serves as an elegant setting for weddings, receptions, banquets and other occasions. The month of December is a special time at the house with live music, decorations and luncheons. Guided tours are given year round at the top of the hour beginning at 10:00am with the last tour at 3:00pm. The schedule is seasonal and the house is closed on major holidays so call ahead.

Ocmulgee is an archeological site which has temple "mounds" from a Southeastern American Indian culture which lived here 1000+ years ago. There is a museum and shop (selling American Indian art and jewelry, among other items). Plan to spend about 1.5 hours depending on the sites you wish to see and climb. Wear walking/hiking shoes!
