The Cannonball House is an 1853 home built in the Greek Revival style. The home was called the Cannonball House due to cannonball damage that it received during the Civil War. The home is decorated and furnished with period furnishings from the 1850s and features re-created meeting rooms of the first sorority, The Adephean Society. A bronze 1864-era cannon that was forged locally at the Macon Arsenal sits on display outside the home. Visitors can tour the home, including the servant's quarters, the brick kitchen, and the gardens. The gift shop sells a variety of products including books, jewelry, souvenirs, and locally made food items.
