MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Fort Hawkins foundation is set to reopen its
doors to visitors in honor of Macon’s bicentennial. The historic site, located
in east Macon, will provide a re-education of its history in a unique way.

The original fort, built between 1806 and 1810, has been part of Macon’s history
from relations with the Muscogee Indians to the War of 1812. According to Macon
historians, the city’s history cannot be told without mentioning the fort’s
history.

Fort Hawkins Foundation board member, Sandra Darby, spoke about the importance
of educating the public about the fort’s history.



“A lot of people don’t know about Fort Hawkins,” Darby said. “We want to educate
the children about Fort Hawkins, because there’s so much history, and it is the
birthplace of Macon.”

The fort is set to reopen after being closed for about two years during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The foundation came up with the unique idea to run a podcast
to educate residents about the fort’s history.

“It’s very important to the history of what was going on, not only in this part
of the country but in the United States itself back then,” owner of Middle GA
Podcasts Ben Sandifer said.

Sandifer expressed eagerness to start the project and re-educate residents about
the fort’s forgotten history.

“It gets kind of lost with all the other historic sites and attractions that
there are to see in Macon,” Sandifer said. “And nothing against any of them,
they’re all wonderful, but Fort Hawkins belongs right there on the list with all
the others.”



The podcast will include discussions on the fort’s history, what advances the
foundation is making to the site and even interviews with Colonel Benjamin
Hawkins himself.

“I have portrayed many historical characters over the years,” Colonel Hawkins
interpreter and former Chairman of the Fort Hawkins Commission, Marty Willet,
said. “This was an awesome character to try and portray and share.”

Willet emphasized the importance of teaching the fort’s history during the
Macon-Bibb Bicentennial.

“I’m proud to see it’s going to continue and be better understood and better
celebrated in the future,” he said.

The grand re-opening of Fort Hawkins will take place on Saturday, March 25.
