"it is not macon's historic hay house... has reopened its doors to the public starting for the first time .... since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a news release from the "georgia trust for historic preservation" ... the mansion will reopen with special regulations.... that follow cdc guidelines.

Guests will be required to social distance ... while on guided tours.... and wear face coverings.

Groups will be limited to 10 people.

We are thrilled, the house has been very quiet and has been empty for the past several months.

We are really excited to have folks back into the museum, but of course, we want everyone to be safe and we want everyone to follow social distancing and have a great time while they are here.
