LEARN HOW TO MAKE A BIRDHOUSE AT OUR WORKSHOP
Come join us at Historic Macon's Tool Library, located at 909 Second St., for an afternoon of crafting and good company.
Project Manager Brady Gonzalez will guide us as we create beautiful, sustainable birdhouses using leftover materials from our restoration projects. In the spirit of Cherry Blossom, we will be decorating our birdhouses in as many pink flowers as we can make!
Register now to reserve your spot and embrace the spirit of Cherry Blossom with us.
This event is FREE for Historic Macon members (Use discount code MEMBER25). All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied by a guardian!
If there is an economic barrier that makes becoming a member or buying a ticket something you cannot do, we have a few sponsored slots available. Please email eallmond@historicmacon.org to apply for a sponsored slot.
SALON EXPLORES BIAS AGAINST BLACK GRAD STUDENTS
Our first Sidney’s Salon of 2025 features historian Dr. Crystal R. Sanders, author of “A Forgotten Migration: Black Southerners, Segregation Scholarships, and the Debt Owed to Public HBCUs.”
On March 27, Dr. Sanders will present her lecture, "Pursuing Their Highest Potential: Black Southerners and Graduate Education during the Era of Legal Segregation” at the Wesleyan College Leadership Lab on Cherry Street. We will begin with a reception at 5:30 p.m., and the presentation will begin at 6.
This lecture is about the obstacles that Black southerners faced and overcame as they pursued graduate and professional school study during the era of legal segregation. While more than 100 public and private Black colleges existed in the South, training beyond the bachelor’s degree was almost impossible.
Our Salons are free, but please register beforehand to help us prepare.
Our mission is to revitalize communities by preserving architecture and sharing history.
One of the benefits of your property residing in a National Register Historic District is preservation incentives. Historic tax credits allow citizens to undertake rehabilitation projects at a reasonable cost and Historic Macon is here to walk you through that process.
A key part of Historic Macon's mission is education. We tell the stories of people who make a difference in our preservation community, as well as those pioneering visionaries whose shoulders we stand on today. Read more about them HERE.
