What a little gem! Stumbled upon this place while walking around downtown. The inside is SO CUTE…read more This would be a great place to study, read, or get some work done. There is also a little patio garden where our kids enjoyed playing while we sipped our coffee. Coffee was a little pricey, $14 for two small shaken espressos - but it was DELICIOUS. Would absolutely return!

This museum highlights a fairly depressed looking downtown area, and while the outside doesn't have…read morea ton of aesthetic appeal, the interior rotunda is quite impressive. It houses a small, eclectic collection of exhibits focusing on subjects ranging from the local music scene to the history of segregation. The titular Harriet Tubman is memorialized in art and sculpture, but I could not figure out why the museum had this focus; Tubman is of course an impressive figure but as far as I could tell she was never anywhere near Georgia (the national park site in Eastern Shore Maryland is the area where she actually lived). Another aspect of the museum which puzzled me a bit was an exhibition on Tyler Perry, who again doesn't seem to have any local ties but is apparently a bigger cultural figure than I would have guessed. A mural on important historical figures is intriguing, but bizarrely excludes native Georgian Clarence Thomas and casually throws in figures like Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson while omitting some rather important pieces of context. Other parts of the museum focus on some starkly negative aspects of local history, as well as inspirational stories of success; military heroes get detailed stories here, but I was also impressed by a wall of black inventors. Overall, I found it a museum with some good highlights, but overall a mixed experience with some unfortunate lapses and not really a large enough place to drive from anywhere not in the Macon area just to see it.

Host of an annual Pan-African festival in April and All Souls Jazz Festival in January.

Innovations gallery of inventions and innovations patented by African and Black Americans along with a highlights mural of black Americans dedicated to civil rights.

Nice venue, small enough to feel intimate. There ARE some bad seats - be sure to check if your…read moreview will be obstructed. Accoustics were good, seats comfortable. Enjoyed the evening with one exception: if you purchase a beverage from the concession other than water to take into the auditorium, you must also purchase a $10 "insulated" cup to put it in. Pro tip: hydrate before you go.

I love this theater. Really intimate setting with that old timey feel. Almost every seat is great…read more I think there are a few seats that might have a partially obstructed view because of support poles. There are 2 concession stands on either side of the lobby, the lines weren't that quick but the prices were cheaper than most venues like this. Free parking if you get there early. My only complaint is they don't have enough concerts throughout the year.

When I was growing up with the neighborhood children, cousin and myself we all would go to the movies with a capitola from the 5lb. bag of flour, that was money the size of a 50 cent coin (don't remember the value of it). I had to wait for the flour to be used up before I could get another one. Sometimes they had one or paid money to get in. It seemed so much larger then....just a stroll down memory lane....LOL.
