We were passing through Augusta, and had a little time to kill so we thought this would be interesting.This was our 5th Presidential home and the tour was guided and informative. As someone stated in one of the other reviews, it was nice to walk through the actual rooms, instead of peeking over a velvet rope.I recommend this attraction to anyone who is interested in Presidential history.Btw, thanks to our guide for recommending a very good downtown restaurant
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana This is my third Wilson home to visit and an indispensable hit on my Bucket List. See where the boy Tommy etched his name in the glass and the window from which the child could hear the screams of Civil War soldiers being operated on.
Interesting to learn about Woodrow Wilson and how his childhood influenced his political views. The guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour.
at first, we didn't want to do the hour tour..we were just passing thru Augusta and just wanted to say we saw his home...but the tour conducted by Stephanie was top-notch...she explains all facets on this home in the hour and makes it very interesting...from the history of the town to the architecture of the home, this tour is more than just a presidential biopic of "Tommy" Woodrow WIlson...a must-see...worth the $5!!
The tour of Woodrow Wilson's boyhood home showed in-depth the childhood of the 28th President. After watching a video, you tour the house. While there are few original artifacts, the house has been nicely restored.
This is a fascinating and wonderful home of President Wilson in his youth. The history, the home and structures, and the museum set up are just fantastic. One learns so very much about the man, his home, and family.
This is a nice place to visit if you are looking for something historic in Augusta. This is not a National Park Service location but instead is run locally.There are three buildings and a video included in the tour.
i recently visited augusta and wanted to see the wilson boyhood home. the tour guide was knowledgeable and informative,as she told of the history of the wilson family, and of tommy wilson's days in augusta.
What is a shame is,they are not open Sunday,Monday.Tuesday.Wednesdays. We really need to open this to the public a little more.My kids along with others deserve to learn about History,How can they do this on limited days
I've been on my share of tours of historic homes and places and found this to be one of the best tours available. I loved being able to walk through each room, not just peek in past the rope at the door. The docent conducting our your have us a lot of information about the furniture (and was a self admitted antique lover) with my children found a little dry but she also shared plenty of information about the Wilson's life in the home. At only $15 for three of is, it's a bargain too! The lower level of the home is air conditioned which was a wonderful treat after walking the streets of Augusta in July.
