Georgia Sports Hall of Fame

Georgia Sports Hall of Fame is located at Cherry Street in Macon, Georgia and is approximately one hour and 20 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The 43,000 square foot facility is home to the United States' largest state sports museum. It opens from 9am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday, remains closed on Sundays and on Mondays pre-booked group tours are available only.

Established in 1956, the museum houses over 3,000 artifacts that help visitors to relive the history of sport in the state. Artifacts and exhibits are rotated throughout the year ranging from the bow tie worn by the referee in the infamous Tyson v Holyfield bite fight, to larger exhibits about the 1996 Paralympic Games and the history of women's basketball in Georgia.

In addition to the exhibits there is a special Hall of Fame corridor at the museum with over 300 inductees. The 1,500 square foot Georgia Room and the 205-seat theater are available to rent for birthday parties, meetings, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. After a tour round the museum, visitors may want to find an eatery nearby. Molly's Café and Market City Café are both situated on Cherry Street close to the museum.
