City & Place Guide

Where American military heritage and Southern hospitality meet.

Fort Benning, now officially renamed Fort Moore in 2023 in honor of Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and his wife Julia, is a major U.S. Army installation located near Columbus, Georgia. It has long served as the home of the U.S. Army Infantry and is one of the largest military bases in the world by population.

Visitors are drawn to its rich military history, world-class museums, and the chance to witness airborne and infantry training in action. The surrounding Columbus area offers complementary attractions, dining, and Southern charm that round out any visit to the region.

Access to the installation itself requires proper identification or a military escort, but several key attractions — including the National Infantry Museum — are open to the general public without base access.

  • •National Infantry Museum — comprehensive tribute to U.S. Army Infantry history with immersive exhibits and artifacts
  • •Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade — observe elite paratrooper training from public viewing areas
  • •Follow Me Statue — iconic bronze landmark symbolizing the Infantry motto
  • •Patton Park — outdoor collection of historic tanks and military vehicles
  • •Coca-Cola Space Science Center (Columbus) — nearby IMAX and planetarium popular with families
  • •Chattahoochee Riverwalk (Columbus) — scenic 15-mile riverside path ideal for walking and cycling

Getting around: The Columbus metropolitan area is served by METRA Transit buses, but coverage is limited and a rental car is strongly recommended for visiting Fort Moore and surrounding attractions. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate in Columbus. Taxis are available but less common. The nearest major airports are Columbus Airport (CSG) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly two hours away.

Best time: Spring (March through May) offers the most comfortable temperatures and lush landscapes, making it the ideal time to visit.

Local food: Try classic Southern staples like fried catfish, collard greens, and peach cobbler at local Columbus eateries, and don't miss a meal along the Broadway dining corridor downtown.
