About Meadow Garden

Meadow Garden is a house museum in Augusta, Georgia, centered on George Walton, one of Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independence. Guided tours cover his path from a Virginia orphan who trained as a carpenter to a Georgia lawyer active in the Revolutionary cause, and they also cover his wife Dorothy, who was held captive by the British. The site is run with a preservation focus, and its restoration work on the house is ongoing. Visits are by tour, with weekday access during set hours and Saturday tours arranged in advance.
