Cannonball House

The Cannonball House is known for being the only home in Macon damaged by the civil war. Inside this beautiful home, you will find the original parlor furnishings of both Phi Mu Sorority and Alpha Delta Pi Sororities on display. One of the front columns of the home was damaged by a Hotchkiss shell from Fort Hawkins during the Civil War, but this lovely antebellum home was otherwise unharmed. Visitors can tour the main house as well as a detached kitchen which was formerly the living quarters for servants.
