During your visit, EscapeWizard.com encourages you to plan to see the boyhood home of President Woodrow Wilson.

Augusta is also home to the nation’s only industrial power canal. Built in 1845 and still operating as it was intended, the Augusta Canal was designated as Georgia’s first National Heritage Area.

While course access is restricted to members only, public access to view professional tournaments is available by ticket purchase. Golfers interested in playing while visiting the city, may do so at several of the area’s comparable public courses for a fee.
As the birthplace of notable celebrities including James Brown, Amy Grant, Jessye Norman, Laurence Fishburne and Hulk Hogan, Augusta is also home to several colleges and universities and the military installation, Fort Gordon. During your visit, plan to tour the area’s museums and recreation centers. Collections at the Augusta Museum of History feature artifacts from Paleo-Indian period and Civil War. The Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, a visual art gallery and provider of visual art education, showcases local and regional talent.
