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.

I took my daughter to see the classic rock group Kansas at this newly renovated theatre in downtown Augusta. Being that much of the area surrounding this venue needs a facelift, this place has been updated and it is a fantastic place to see a live show. The sound was superb, the seating was comfortable and the staff were great. Highly recommended!

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.

A gem in the heart of Augusta touring sacred heart was beyond my imagination. The beauty of the flowers are among some of the best I've ever seen. We did the audio tour with headphones helping me to connect with some of the amazing aspects of this beautiful building. I can see why every girls dream is to get married there it would be almost like a magical wedding. The history behind the whole museum makes it even better!! Staff is also an amazing added bonus
