NewTown Macon will offer a downtown walking tour of our downtown historic commercial buildings. The tour, which begins at NewTown Macon’s office at 479 Cherry Street, will highlight the locations where historic markers have recently been installed.
Maryel Battin, a historic preservation consultant with NewTown Macon, will conduct the tour which will last approximately one hour. Participants will see a building, now housing legal offices, which was once a saddlery known as the Hotel de Horse, where the inventor of Coca Cola syrup went to college and a former drugstore that sold Compound Syrup of Tar and Magic Pain Destroyer.
