Historic Macon Foundation
Overview
Historic Macon Foundation became the regional leader in historic preservation on July 31, 2003 with the merger of the Middle Georgia Historical Society and the Macon Heritage Foundation. The merged organization inherits the missions and activities of both constituent groups. Since 1964, we have been the region’s preservation organization of note. The goal of the merger was to create a stronger, more efficient and effective voice for historic preservation in Middle Georgia. We educate the greater Macon community about its history and historic preservation; preserve and restore historic buildings, and sites and neighborhoods. The bricks and mortar activities of the Macon Heritage Foundation are preserved through continued efforts in neighborhood and downtown revitalization. The educational mission of the two founding organizations merged and promote such programs as the Oral History Project, Backroads Rambles, lectures, and trips. Today, Historic Macon strives to be the premier preservation organization in the nation.

This year, we are pleased to offer TWO opportunities to participate in our most popular educational event of the year. Local historians Kathleen O'Neal and Jim Barfield will both be leading tours on October 27th. Kathleen's tour will begin at 9am, and Jim's tour will begin at 2pm.
Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes, sun protection, and bring a bottle of water with you for this 1.5 hour walking tour. We will be walking along a paved route, but please be mindful that Rose Hill has big elevation changes and the paved roads are not always perfectly smooth.
