Good starting point if you intend to tour the canal. This small museum has exhibits to tell the history of its construction and expansion to power the cotton manufacturing facilities. Small entrance fee includes a short video presentation. Tickets for Canal cruises sold here. It was warm and sunny so we didn't take the cruise.

This is an fun place to visit in Augusta. There is a small but very informative museum in the old mill building. It tells the history of the development of the canal and the textile industry that put Augusta on the map. Then you can take the boat ride on the canal in an actual replica of the canal boats and see the various mills on the river. The guide does an excellent job of explaining the development of the mills in the mid 1800's and later the development of the gunpowder plants and supply centers that supported the south during the civil war. Along the way you will see various wildlife including heron, kingfishers and river otters. Even on a gloomy overcast day, this was well worth the cost of around $10 a person.

Never having been to Augusta, we were quite interested in the history of the cotton and textile mills of the area. No OSHA back then! The displays at the Interpretive Center are detailed and highly interactive. Great for adults, kids (and adults who feel like acting like kids as they learn)! The gift shop carries many items from educational books, to (likely) non-USA made toys and little stuff, to ornaments, to earthenware. The worker on the day we were there was a total joy! (Dec. 5). Thanks so much for the experience.

We have cruised the Augusta Canal 5 times in a year. It is a perfect place to bring visitors to Augusta and it is wonderful for children. Guides are knowledgeable, scenery is beautiful and one never knows what critter or bird will be seen. The Interpretative Center has a great short movie about the Augusta Canal and interactive, hands-on displays about the history, development and functions of the Canal. The small gift area has wonderful local products and books. Very worthwhile!

Love this canal tour. We do this event every chance we get. Especially the music boat. Great entertainment. We always ask to ride on Capt Charlie's boat. Friendliest boat capt they have.

The Augusta Canal Center is a wonderful place to visit!!!! I especially recommend it to visitors with kids. The displays are very informative and interactive for kids of all ages. Don't miss out on the canal boat rides! Though they are over way too fast, the cruises are great and the guides couldn't be better!!!!! Wonderful way to see another side of Augusta!!!

I visited the Augusta Canal Interpretive Center specifically to take the Civil War themed Canal Tour. I was very much impressed with the museum at the Enterprise Mill and the way that it presented history. Perhaps because my Great-Grandparents were mill workers, I especially enjoyed the interactive aspects, such as a game that timed you putting bobbins on pins. It was a simple little thing, but really gave you the chance to see some small aspect of the tasks performed in the mill. There were numerous exhibits like this, which children and adults will enjoy. As for the canal tour, I did enjoy that as well. We saw a lot of native wildlife, such as birds and turtles, as well as the historic buildings along the river. Although it was quite hot, the tour boat provided umbrellas to shade us from the sun in the metal boat.

The best understand the history of a place is to experience it first hand. The Augusta Canal Interpretive Center allow you step back in time and experience The canal the way it was. The tour guide was knowledgable and explained it well. The experience is a bit pricey. All things being said it was a good time.

This is by far one of the "must see" things about Augusta! The mill is super interesting and the $12. Fee includes a very interesting ride on a canal boat.

The museum is interesting. Best of all are the boat history tours. Guides are knowledgeable. The boat is quiet and scenery beautiful. Entertainment offered some evenings.
