The Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park has been touting for years that “all things are connected.”

Beginning in January, television host Mike Rowe will use Macon as a backdrop for multiple scenes as he sets out to prove every single thing is connected.

For more than a decade, Macon’s infamous welcome sign sat dismantled at Central City Park.

The $50,000 worth of chiseled pink granite was designed in 1996 to greet thousands of travelers buzzing through town on Interstate 75 during the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta.
