Georgia's Historic South is known for its southern charm, deep cultural heritage
and classic architecture. Extending from south of Atlanta
to the coastal region, peach tree blossoms and budding azaleas envelop the land.
The South Georgia city of Macon
is home to thousands of National Register historic structures; especially rich
in African-American history. One of Macon's most visited tourist attractions
is the Tubman
African-American Museum. While in Macon, also be sure to visit the Georgia
Music Hall of Fame and the Georgia
Sports Hall of Fame. South Georgia's authentic rivertown Columbus
is located on the Chattahoochee
River. Stroll down the Chattahoochee Riverwalk and enjoy the scenery. When
visiting Augusta,
known as the second largest inland cotton market in the world, begin at the
Historic
Cotton Exchange Center and Museum to learn about the city's past. The far
southeast of this region is also home to the Okefenokee
National Wildlife Refuge.
