Meadow Garden

Meadow Garden in Augusta, Georgia, is a historic house museum that was originally the residence of George Walton. Walton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, served as governor and chief justice of Georgia. The oldest part of the building dates to 1791 and was built in the Greek Revival style before being expanded several times. After it was sold in 1812, the Daughters of the American Revolution rescued the property, which opened as a museum in 1901 and is still run by that organization today. Because of its historical significance, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1981. Here you can experience the history of early America and the life of George Walton.
