It is in the Piedmont section of the state. The Augusta metro area is situated in both Georgia and South Carolina, which is divided by the Savannah River.

Meadow Garden

Meadow Garden is one of Georgia’s oldest dwellings. This national historic landmark is a quiet and inviting oasis in the midst of the industrialized city of Augusta, Georgia. Meadow Garden was the home of George Walton, one of the youngest signers of the Declaration of Independence. Come and visit this beautiful treasure! Guided tours are available Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00AM to 4:00. The home features 18th and 19th Century American and English furnishings, porcelains, paintings and primitive household equipment.

There is alot of restoration being done at Meadow Garden at this time. While this might be considered a problem with some places, it remains an eye opening experience for this historic home. Examples of the restorations of the past, the expansion of the home, and the original inner workings are revealed due to the restoration project. It also gives a ton of new information that is being discovered (Some only weeks old.) I recommend this location to anyone even during it's restoration and will return when it has been restored even more to see what new secrets might have been revealed. The tour guide was a treat to spend time with, and even though the house isn't too large you can spend quite a bit of time. I enjoyed myself fully.

Pexcho's American Dime Museum

Reviewed By paulpL2793LY

My two sons (8 and 10) and I were passing through Augusta on Easter Sunday. We stopped by not fully expecting the museum to be open. The owner was just about to paint his floors but let us in anyway. I am so happy he did. It was awesome! It was the perfect amount of history for me and weird wild stuff for my kids. We all came away learning the history of American entertainment and it was the most unique experience of our week long trip. We are all still talking about it, remembering the stories and strange things we saw. The exterior does not look like a normal museum so you may walk up to it a little unsure but once you experience it you will love everything about it. We absolutely loved this experience. I wear my Pexcho's T-shirt with pride and hope someone will ask me about it.

Have fun learning about the workings of a textile mill and learn about the importance of the Augusta Canal with a guided boat ride on the canal.

We went to the Savannah Rapids visitor Center and then walked the Augusta canal trail. Walked 2 miles south and then back 2 miles. The total distance can be as much as 8 miles on this trail. Lots of wildlife and history as you walk this trail. Good place to get away from the business of life.

Riverwalk

Reviewed By Tayadog1 - Aiken, United States

Whether you just want a nice peaceful walk along the river, stop at the museum or a restaurant, see a concert, or just view the homes across the river, it’s a gem for Augusta. It’s a lot better than walking down Broad Street which needs plenty of help and revitalization.
