Highway 41 in Georgia, near Warner Robins

Yesterday I looked at how far the Highway 41 end-to-end StreetView trek has to go, and it's a LONG way.  But north of Warner Robins (where we are in this post), it enters the environs of Atlanta and Civil War country.  In fact, Highway 41 passes very close to a major Civil War battlefield.  You'll find out which one and where when we get there.  But before that, there are some quite interesting landmarks and historic sites along the way.

So today, we are in Warner Robins, where there's a major Air Force base.  The trek will take a side trip there.  And there is an interesting spot here in this city, too.


Perry, Georgia. It's a little bit confusing here to stay on Highway 41. In downtown Perry, the General Courtney Hodge Boulevard, which is Highway 41 entering Perry, splits in to Main Street and Commerce Street. Main Street is numbered Highway or Route 127, and Commerce Street runs into Macon Road, which is also definitely Highway 41. So I'm pretty sure Commerce Street is Highway 41, which is the street we're on here.

Highway 41 and Gunn Road. Highway 41 doesn't go anywhere near Robins Air Force Base, which is probably the main reason you might have heard of Warner Robins.



So I decided to go off the main road a few miles just to take a look at Robins AFB. Not much to see there, but now I've seen it.



This is a little more interesting, it's the Museum of Aviation next to Robins AFB. It's about 9 miles east of Highway 41, so worth a side trip.



The next main city is MACON.
