Tourists can pay virtual visits to Augusta's landmark buildings and historic districts before they actually see them. Through a collaboration between national, state and local heritage and tourism organizations, the city's history can be explored online at a new National Park Service website- www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/augusta .
The online travel itinerary highlights 39 Augusta sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The website provides descriptions, maps, photographs, visitor information, and links for each place. Five essays interpret important themes including the city’s overall history, historic preservation, the African-American community, and religious institutions.
