A city in Georgia, Augusta is an excellent example of the southern warmth of the state. It is situated along the Savannah River and lies on the eastern-most border of South Carolina. It is best known for The Masters’ Golf Tournament that the city hosts in April every year.

Augusta’s history rests heavily on its association with soul music and the huge African-American population of the area that has shaped the culture of Augusta into what we see today. It has exerted a major influence on its food and art and has impacted the lifestyle profoundly. Some of the popular places that are worth seeing are-

• Morris Museum of Art- It was the first museum dedicated to the art of the American South and houses a permanent collection of innumerable works of art, that goes as back as the 19th century. The earliest depictions of modernism in art in the South can be found in the works of the museum.
• Abbeville Opera House- It is a historic building which, in its early days, served as a campsite for many touring theatres that traveled from New York. The building combines architectural finesse and modern facilities remarkably well. The Belmont Inn by OYO is in the vicinity of the Opera House.
• Savannah Rapids Park- It is a recreation park that covers an area of 33 acres and has long stood as the ideal destination for nature lovers. It is located along the Augusta Canal and Reed Creek waterfall and provides ample views of the savannah rapids, thus earning its name.
