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.

On recommendation of my son-in-law, my wife and I and our Grandson William visited Reed Creek Park and Interpretive Center. I was pleasantly surprised with the boardwalk trails right through the swamp. It was like a smaller Phinizy Swamp Park but with much of the same nature scenes. On the trail we saw turtles, bull frogs, cranes. I was impressed as I could wheel a wheel chair on the boardwalk. The interpretive center had nature exhibits for kids and you can actually hold non-venomous snakes under supervision. They have nature classes for children and on weekends you can put on your mud boots and take a guided swamp tour complete with dip nets. There are restrooms and picnic tables available. The trails are not too long and well marked. I strongly recommend a visit!
