I parked in the lot and walked down to the riverfront to take a look in the museum. It was closed. Drat! I walked back uphill to the road leading to the capitol building. There is a nice park to walk through with a lot of interesting stops, including a view of the river.
I didn't get to learn anything more about the city itself except what I could see with my own eyes and read on the plaques. I went on to Macon County and left the next morning. Enough said.
