Motel 6 Macon

See the Cannonball House

by no1birdlady

This white house with the white columns is actually Judge Asa Holt's House but it is known as the Connonball House because of something that happened during the Civil War. In July 1864 when the Union Army was trying to take Macon, a cannon ball from General Stoneman's gun struck the house. It went through a column on the porch and into the living room. If you look closely, you can see where it has been repaired. By the way, the battle to take Macon was unsuccessful.

Spring in Macon is Beautiful

"History Shines in Macon"

My friend and I went to Macon this spring. We parked downtown and walked around to see the historic old homes found here. There are also beautiful parks and flower displays here as well as Cherry Trees.

"Flowers Shine in spring in Macon"

My friend and I went to Macon mainly to see the display of blooming Cherry Trees in this southern city. They were quite impressive along the tour where you see most of the cherry trees but we found that the downtown Cherry Trees had already bloomed earlier. There are beautiful parks here that are beautifully landscaped with flowers. When we were there, there were displays of tulips, pansies and cabbages. Azaleas, Dogwoods, and Redbuds were also blooming.
