Unlike our experience at the Wilson home in Columbia, there was no huge group going through here. We had a very pleasant tour, with a great tour guide, and with a small family that seemed truly interested in the 28th Presidents home.
Check out the photos. Like many historic sites, a nice film is shown to start things off, and then a thorough tour is given. Our tour guide let me know that they're fine with people taking photos. I really enjoy taking pictures like this, and I love it when great, historic homes like this don't mind.
I was unable to get my camera to focus on it, but one of the really cool moments on the tour was when our guide pointed to some letters on a window. They are pretty sure that a young Woodrow Wilson (then going by "Tommy") had started to scratch his name in the glass!
Right next door to the Woodrow Wilson House is the Joseph Rucker Lamar Boyhood Home. Lamar would serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. This home is now used as the visitor center for the Woodrow Wilson Boyhood Home.This is a must see if you are in Augusta!
