Historic Macon Foundation depends on the generosity of many small donors to make our work possible. We are efficient and effective with every donation. One of the easiest ways to support our work is by attending one of our mission-related preservation events. You can enjoy good company, a historic venue and a tax deduction for your contribution. Please join us for one of the events below.  Check our Calendar for committee meeting times.

Architectural Styles Society Fundraiser, Sunday, August 15, 2010, Hill-O'Neal-Adams Cottage, 535 College St., 7pm

Hill-O'Neal-Adams CottageIn cooperation with the Museum of Arts and Sciences, Historic Macon is publishing an architectural styles guide to Macon.  The book will become the catalog to the Museum's upcoming architectural exhibit and was written on a volunteer basis by Cambridge-educated architectural historian David Lewis.  To raise money to publish this book, Joe and Evelyn Adams have invited us to host a fundraiser at their recently restored antebellum home on College St.  Everyone is clamoring to see their beautiful home (and the artwork that fills it).  This event is the perfect way to enjoy a docented tour of the home, meet the author and support education for historic preservation.  Attendees will also be treated to refreshments, beer, wine, a specialty cocktail, live music and the good company of other Historic Macon members.  We will be offering sponsorships of the book at the door of the event.  Each sponsorship will be published in the front of the book, as a permanent token of our thanks for your generosity.  Sponsorships are tax deductible.  Sponsorship at any level will include two tickets to this event at the Adams' home on Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 7pm.  Sponsorship levels are listed below, and may be paid at the door.  Please email Daniel at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to RSVP.  Please join our Architectural Styles Society and help us publish this great book!
