We really enjoyed our tour. With the 250th coming up, it seemed timely. The property is undergoing restoration work so we only got to see a small part of the house. All the more reason to return in the near future to see the completed project! The tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable. Walton led a very interesting life. The restoration work has uncovered things about the structure itself that are all very interesting, too. There are lots of great details in the tour: his wife was a POW, we know the names of all those enslaved there, he loved farming but was not very successful at it. Those and more make it well worth the very reasonable cost.

We loved this museum! We have been studying the Declaration of Independence in homeschool and this was the perfect way to bring it to life! The tour guide was great and it was a very informational experience! We would definitely go back! There is also a cute little gift shop!

His image is not on any coin or legal tender, but his influence is imprinted on the entire State of Georgia. George Walton's career started at an early age, and he took great interest in everything around him. He firstly became a lawyer before entering politics. George was one of the youngest signers of the Declaration of Independence, served twice as Governor of Georgia, and was also a Chief Justice in Georgia's Supreme Court. He also served as a U.S. Senator. Walton served as a Colonel in the Georgia militia during the Revolutionary War, and was injured and captured defending Savannah. He was held as a prisoner for nearly a year. The tour of the property was incredibly interesting. Ransom was very thorough, and she answered all my questions. I want to thank her, and all the members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for their hard work in preserving such important history, and for all the work they do everywhere.

Our tour guide Stephanie was great! My group was more interested in the architecture history of the house and she was able to provide tons of information about the house and point out interesting architecture details. I wish they were planning on making the upstairs into part of the museum just because I wanted to take a look up there ha. Overall great time and it's a cool thing to do on a Monday in Augusta. Lastly - LOVED the cat on the premises. Photo attached.

This museum is so magical! They have beautiful candle lights and Christmas decorations everywhere the whole month of December. They had wonderful costumed tour guides that give you fun and interesting history facts while you walk around the home. They had live music and their gift shop is amazing! Every year they have an open house the first weekend of December!!!
