Downtown Augusta Travel Guide

Augusta

Greene street right off broad near downtown. Definitely the more 'artsy' section of downtown Augusta.
When George Washington came to town...
3 signees of our nations birthright, the Declaration of Independence are engraved at the signers monument here in Augusta, GA, and while two of them (Walton and Hall) are entombed in said location, Gwinnets remains, suspected to be in Savannah, have gone undiscovered and have eluded historians.

This building, which was erected in 1801 by Augusta's first Methodist Society, was moved to this location in 1844 to become the home of the Springfield Baptist Church. Organized in 1787 by Jesse Peters, the Springfield Baptist Church is the oldest independent African-American Church in the nation. This church helped bridge the transition between slavery and free citizenship and has stood as a focus for black community life. This church building is the major landmark remaining from the early free-black community of Springfield. The original structure was moved to the rear of the lot when the new brick church was built in 1897. Springfield Church helped to establish many black institutions. In 1867, Morehouse College, the nation's only all-male, historically black undergraduate institution, was founded in the basement of Springfield Baptist Church by Richard Coulter and Edmund Turney, while Henry Watts was serving as pastor. The school moved to Atlanta in 1879 and was renamed Morehouse College in 1913.

The attitude of the front desk clerk was horrible. The bathroom had used toilet paper on the roll. I don't want to touch any toilet paper that someone else has utilized and don't know what it could have been exposed to during that time.....the room is dated and needs renovations.
