# Ridge Macon County Archaeology Project > The Ridge Project pays homage to a cluster of historic rural communities located along a ridge line in southeast Macon County, Alabama where Native Americans created a trading path long ago. The path became a segment of The Federal Road, the main route for pioneer emigration to the Old Southwest during the great "Alabama Fever" land rush. We provide educational programs and events about our region's historical and cultural significance for the public. ## Pages - [Home](https://digtheridge.com/) - [About Ridge Macon County Archaeology Project](https://digtheridge.com/about) - [Interpretive Center](https://digtheridge.com/interpretive-center) - [Donate](https://digtheridge.com/donate) - [Podcasts](https://digtheridge.com/podcasts) - [Storytelling Festival](https://digtheridge.com/storytelling-festival) - [Contact Us](https://digtheridge.com/contact-us) - [Friends ](https://digtheridge.com/friends) - [NEWS](https://digtheridge.com/news) - [PPCB Project](https://digtheridge.com/ppcb-project) ## Contact Location: 10735 County Road 10, Union Springs, AL 36089 Phone: 770-843-1913
