Built in 1929, Luther Williams Field is one of the oldest operating ballparks in North America. Named after then–Mayor Luther Williams, the stadium originally served as the home of the Macon Peaches from its opening until the 1980s.

This historic ballpark has hosted some of baseball’s most legendary names, including Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, and Joe DiMaggio. One of the most iconic moments in Georgia sports history took place here on April 7, 1949, when Jackie Robinson broke the state’s color barrier during an exhibition game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Macon Peaches. The Macon Bacon honored Robinson’s legacy on June 20, 2025, by officially retiring his legendary number 42.

Teams that have called Luther Williams Field home include the Macon Bacon, Macon Braves, Macon Pirates, Macon Dodgers, Macon Peaches, and Macon Music.

When you visit, be sure to check out our “Wall of Fame”, featuring stories and photos that celebrate the ballpark’s rich history.
