Even before the Fort Benning army base was founded in Georgia, its neighbor, Columbus, was a city closely intertwined with the state’s military history, which is why it is not surprising that many of its attractions are related to defense and security. If you’ve applied to visit Fort Benning, Columbus is a great home base. While here, you can visit National Infantry Museum, which is one of the world’s biggest collections of military artifacts, and National Civil War Naval Museum, which presents a maritime angle to the events that happened during the Civil War.
Also near the military base is Chattahoochee Riverwalk, a 22-mile (35-km) linear park along the river. The Little White House, meanwhile, allows travelers to have a close look at the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest-serving president in the US. For a place to stay, take a look at these Airbnb vacation rentals near Fort Benning, Georgia.
