Augusta is the very picture of a quaint, old fashioned Southern town, with many charming districts and neighborhoods. Stately antebellum homes, tree-lined avenues and shady pathways along Augusta's rivers characterize this historic and charming city. The neighborhoods of Augusta and the surrounding communities each have their own unique atmosphere, but the world-famous southern dignity and hospitality pervade them all.
