    For venue people, like Epting Events, work area is tight but manageable. But beware transporting item to the kitchen! Small elevator does not accept Rubbermaid carts or similarly large items. When they say small, they mean small. But otherwise a great venue with wonderful history. Very helpful staff and very hospitable. Worth looking into.

    What a gorgeous home! This is definitely a must see if you find yourself in the Macon area. Our tour guide (Landon..?) was fantastic! He answered all of the group questions and knew so much about the home and its history. Definitely recommend it!
