Welcome to Visit Augusta GA blog

It’s hard to believe that October is finally here! Thankfully, it is bringing very pleasant weather to the Garden City. While you are visiting downtown, you should stop by the Augusta Visitor Center, located inside the lobby of the Augusta Museum of History.  During the month of October the ‘Play Augusta’ t-shirt is on sale for 20% off.  What better way to show off your pride in Augusta, than to sport one of these tees?  This is just one of the Augusta souvenirs that the Visitor Center has to offer, along with many different products made in Georgia, like pecan brittle and muscadine cider. You can also find specialties by Augusta’s own Very Vera, who was recently featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay.

Throughout the rest of the year, there will also be other items on sale, including peach jam and Augusta canvas tote bags, which are both great ideas for the upcoming holiday season. You can also find a wealth of information on things to do and where to shop and dine in Augusta!

The Augusta Visitor Information Center continues to draw visitors and tourists from all over the world   For example, in January our visitors included couples from Australia and Alaska. 

I asked the couple from Australia what brought them to Augusta. They replied that they both had never visited before and wanted to tour our city. They enjoyed a tour of the Augusta Museum of History, which includes a James Brown (Godfather of Soul) exhibit.  The couple expressed to me that they enjoyed the hospitality we offer in Augusta and that they really felt welcomed.

The couple from Alaska decided to stay in Augusta for the night and tour before leaving the next day to go to Florida.  I provided them with information about what they could do while in Augusta and places they could eat.  After exploring Artists’ Row (a section in downtown with several art galleries) and downtown Augusta, the couple came back to say goodbye and how they really enjoyed their time in our city.

As is true of many of our visitors to the Augusta Visitor Center, they find out what Augusta has to offer.  All of our guests express satisfaction and appreciation for the information and special attention they receive from the visitor center staff and volunteers.

If you plan to visit, make sure the Augusta Visitor Center is one of your stops. We love to help you enjoy your stay while you are in Augusta!
