Augusta Canal National Heritage Area

Augusta Canal National Heritage Area in east central Georgia interprets the August Canal story and its role in the development of the nation. Visitors can float past 200 years of Georgia history on a replica canal cargo boat, visit the award-winning Canal Interpretive Center in a restored textile mill, view the Confederate Powderworks chimney, or hike, bike or paddle along the historic waterway.

		Model boatman at Canal Interpretive Center This award-winning 10,000 square-foot center houses models, movies and working mill machinery. Tickets for Petersburg Boat canal tours sold here.

		Petersburg Boat Tours Daily narrated guided tours aboard open-air boats modeled after the cargo vessels that carried cotton and other crops to markets.

		Enterprise and Granite Mills The 1848 Granite Mill is the oldest mill to begin operations on the canal. After the canal expanded in the 1870s, the large, brick Enterprise Mill was built on the site. Today it houses businesses, apartments and the Augusta Canal Interpretive Center.
