About The Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson

The Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson is a National Historic Landmark house museum in Augusta where visitors take guided tours through the restored Presbyterian Manse where the 28th President lived as a child from 1860 to 1870. Docent-led tours walk guests through the home's rooms and grounds, depicting Wilson's formative years during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. The restored property includes the main house, kitchen, carriage house, and historic gardens.

Tours are offered multiple times daily Wednesday through Saturday, with tickets available online. The attraction suits anyone interested in presidential history, Civil War-era life in Georgia, or the personal experiences that shaped one of America's most consequential leaders. The museum functions as both an educational facility and historic attraction for visitors to Augusta.
