Augusta and the Late 20th Century to Today

[Train Whistle] As you look in the cases on your way out, identify objects that you are familiar with. History is alive and constantly changing. As you leave the museum, think about objects today that may end up in our museum tomorrow. We at the Augusta Museum of History hope that you have enjoyed Augusta’s Story and wish you a good day.
