Macon Discount Travel DealsOnly Savannah tops Macon for its striking old buildings. What comes as a huge surprise to visitors, though, is that Macon has 170,000 cherry trees--and they're a remarkable sight in late March when in bloom. Compare Washington, D.C.'s famous Cherry Blossom Festival (with a mere 3,000 trees), and you'll understand how perfumed that time of year is in Macon.The original city planners designed Macon in 1823 as a "city in a park." Today that heritage has been preserved. Wide avenues are lined with grand, stately mansions, many built before the Civil War during the cotton boom. It's more than just a river town today, with many cultural offerings--such as the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, and the Grand Opera House--and educational institutions, such as Macon College, Mercer University, and Wesleyan College, the world's first college for women. And a $36-million revitalization project was launched in 1999 to help restore the downtown to its original beauty.As you'll see here, Macon has a wealth of historic sites, a handful of delightful places to stay, and the hospitality for which the South is known.
