Things to do in Columbus

Columbus sits on the Chattahoochee River across from Alabama and is one of Georgia’s largest cities. Fort Benning, the Army’s home of the infantry and armor schools, lies just to the south and brings soldiers, families and contractors to town year-round. The city is also headquarters to Aflac and Synovus and a center for payments technology, with Columbus State University’s downtown campus adding arts and music programs. A riverfront revitalization has turned former mills into restaurants, lofts and performance spaces.

    National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center

    Just outside Fort Benning’s gates, this museum traces the history of the American infantryman through immersive galleries, and its parade field hosts graduation ceremonies for new soldiers.

  2. 02

    Chattahoochee River whitewater

    After the removal of two old mill dams, the river through downtown became an urban whitewater course, with guided rafting trips and ziplines that cross between Georgia and Alabama.

  3. 03

    Chattahoochee RiverWalk

    A paved trail of roughly 15 miles follows the river from downtown past historic mills, parks and overlooks, and is popular for walking, running and cycling.

  4. 04

    National Civil War Naval Museum

    The museum displays the salvaged remains of two Confederate warships, the ironclad CSS Jackson and the gunboat CSS Chattahoochee, along with exhibits on the naval side of the war.

  5. 05

    Springer Opera House

    Opened in 1871 and named the State Theatre of Georgia, this restored Victorian theater still presents plays and musicals and offers tours of its ornate auditorium.

  6. 06

    RiverCenter for the Performing Arts
