Pulaski County

Hawkinsville is home to one of the largest harness racing training facilities in the country.

There are three entries on the National Register of Historic Places from Pulaski County: the Hawkinsville Opera House, the Pulaski County Courthouse, and Taylor Hall.

The Ocmulgee River runs through the county.

Several notable people have ties to Pulaski County. Butler Brown, an artist, has had his work displayed in the White House; Mary Culler White was a missionary in China for most of her life; and "Salty Sol" Fleischman, a respected sportscaster in the Tampa Bay area, was born in the county.

The town has had a long history of horse racing, and celebrates the Hawkinsville Harness Festival every spring.
