Cannonball House, History museum in Macon, Georgia, United States.
The Cannonball House is a Greek Revival structure on Mulberry Street featuring period furnishings and a two-story brick kitchen with servants' quarters. The interior spaces reflect daily life of the household as it was lived during the 1800s.
The house was built in 1853 as a townhouse for a wealthy judge. During the conflicts of 1864, a cannonball struck it, giving the building its lasting name.
The house holds collections from two national collegiate women's societies: the Adelphean Collection from Alpha Delta Pi and the Philomathean Collection from Phi Mu. These objects show how important these organizations were for women's education history.
Visitors explore the rooms on guided tours offered throughout the week. It is helpful to check opening times in advance to plan your visit around available tour departures.
A bronze cannon from 1864 stands in the front yard as a reminder of the past. The original cannonball damage remains visible on the exterior of the house.
