Before leaving for Atlanta, we visited the Jefferson Davis Museum and Robins Air Force Base Museum of Aviation. just north of Macon, Georgia.
The museum was small but had some nice exhibits. This is the location of Davis’s capture near the end of the Civil War. There is no photography allowed in the museum. There are artifacts in the museum depicting his life.
The Air Force Museum is north of Macon, Georgia. The base is still an active duty base home to the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex with over 22,000 military, civilian and contractor personnel. The museum is free and is said to be the second largest air museum in the country behind Wright Patterson ir Force Base outside of Dayton, Ohio.
The most interesting planes we observed were the B-52 bomber, the B-1 bomber, and the SR-71. The museum has four hangers with planes from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars.
