AND A HALL OF FAME CORRIDOR THAT HONORS THE OVER 300 INDUCTEES. MORE THAN 16,300 PEOPLE HAVE VISITED THE MUSEUM DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON AND INDIAN AGENT COL. BENJAMIN HAWKINS AS AN OFFICIAL U.S. ARMY FORT AND INDIAN FACTORY FOR TRADING AND MEETING WITH NATIVE AMERICANS ESTABLISHED FORT HAWKINS IN 1806. AT THE TIME, IT WAS THE WESTERN FRONTIER AND A WILDERNESS. IT OVERLOOKED THE ANCIENT INDIAN MOUNDS OF THE "OLD FIELDS" HELD SACRED BY THE MUSKOGEE CREEK NATION, THE OCMULGEE RIVER, THE LOWER CREEK PATHWAY THAT BECAME THE FEDERAL ROAD CONNECTING WASHINGTON, D.C. TO MOBILE AND NEW ORLEANS, AND THE FUTURE SITE OF THE CITY OF MACON FOUNDED ACROSS THE RIVER SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER. NEWTOWN IS WORKING WITH THE FORT HAWKINS COMMISSION TO BRING ABOUT THE COMPLETE RESTORATION OF THE FRONTIER FORT THAT IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF MACON, GEORGIA. DURING FY2014, WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE PALISADE WALL AND THE LOG CABIN VISITOR'S CENTER. FORT HAWKINS RECEIVED 1,225 VISITORS DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. THE FORT WAS OPEN EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FREE OF CHARGE AND OFFERED 18 EDUCATIONAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

THE OCMULGEE HERITAGE TRAIL CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF OUR MAIN FOCUSES AS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. NEWTOWN INVESTED NEARLY 3.5 MILLION TRANSITIONING AMERSON RIVER PARK TO PUBLIC CONTROL AND OPERATING IT UNTIL SPRING OF 2014. DURING NEWTOWN'S MANAGEMENT, WE CONSTRUCTED PICNIC AND OVERLOOK PAVILIONS, A PLAYGROUND, A CANOE LAUNCH AND PRIMITIVE TRAILS. THE PARK WAS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND MACON- BIBB INITIATED 5.5 MILLION IN FURTHER PARK IMPROVEMENTS, WITH THE EXPECTATION OF REOPENING THE PARK BY MID 2015. WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AT ARP, WHICH HAS BROUGHT MANY THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS TO THE PARK SINCE IT WAS STARTED.
