I recently had lunch at one of Augusta’s best historic attractions – Sacred Heart Cultural Center. In the heart of downtown Augusta, the former Catholic church is now a venue for meetings, performances and in my case lunch. With 60 of my closest friends, we enjoyed a short program and lunch catered by The Silver Palm– yum. The cultural arts center is open for self-guided tours as well. If you are in Augusta – check it out. By the way Sacred Heart hosts a fabulous Garden Festival each year in April – also not to be missed.
