Fort Hawkins Tours

You might be encouraged to visit today, but Fort Hawkins hasn't always been so welcoming! Find out the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

This history-filled fortress is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Macon. But Fort Hawkins isn't the only drawcard in the area. Macon Coliseum, Mercer University, and The Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House are some other recommended attractions nearby.
