They are not too far off of the road. 10, 20, 30, 40, & 50 yards positions. However, if you want to shoot at the one of their 20 3D Stations, you'll want to get a cart. Those targets include deer, bears, hogs, cougars, and turkeys! That place is fun!

Just 30 min ride from Augusta, and you step into a Town not a city, jam packed with history. Gift shop, super fun for kids and all ages. There are displays of all sub-species of turkeys, some I'll bet you've never seen and did not know even existed stuffed and in dioramas of their Natural Habitat. Displays of National prize winning art from framed art to hand-carved turkey calls and beautiful hand made knives. Talking animatronics and videos tell the story. And some of the most beautiful taxidermy I've ever seen including a 7 ft tall cougar leaping to snag himself a turkey! Gotta go back soon. Then eat lunch at Bob's Cafe in Town of Edgefield. It's the best Southern Cooking in the CSRA. The Old Edgefield Grille is good too, though pricey, in a gorgeous old mansion. But the Best handmade hamburger is at The Billiard Parlor on the Courthouse Town Square. Freakin awesome.

This is one of Augusta's most rewarding museums, a place that manages to tell a 12,000‑year story…read morewithout ever feeling overwhelming. The Augusta Museum of History is the city's oldest historical institution, founded in 1937 and now the only accredited museum in the Central Savannah River Area, which gives it a level of curatorial depth you can feel as you move from room to room. The museum's signature exhibition, Augusta's Story, begins with the region's earliest Indigenous cultures, including artifacts from the Stallings Island people, and then moves through the Colonial Era, the antebellum period, the Civil War, and the city's twentieth century reinventions. You see everything from slave‑made pottery to a 12‑pounder bronze Napoleon cannon tube and an 1869 steam fire engine tied to the devastating 1916 fire that reshaped parts of the city. It's a rare chance to see Augusta's full arc laid out in a way that feels comprehensive. The museum also excels at capturing the city's cultural identity. The James Brown gallery is a highlight, celebrating the life and global influence of the "Godfather of Soul" with photographs, stage pieces, and biographical context that show how deeply he shaped Augusta's modern identity. Several media options to watch him performing and to hear other leading figures discuss his influence. The golf and Masters Tournament section offers a thoughtful look at how the sport became intertwined with the city's reputation, and the medical history exhibit includes an impressive wall of antique medicine bottles that gives you a sense of how local healthcare evolved over generations. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit is the Transportation Corridor, which brings Augusta's mobility story to life with a 1914 steam locomotive, a 1917 steam trolley, a reconstructed 1930s gas station, and a range of early vehicles. Walking through the restored streetcar and stepping into the rail car for photos adds a tactile, playful element that balances the more traditional exhibits. Upstairs, the museum's radio history exhibit traces the rise of WBBQ, one of Augusta's most influential stations, including a "then and now" section installed for its 60th anniversary. There are also exhibits on local law enforcement and firefighting, as well as a gallery of regional legends that highlights entertainers, athletes, writers, and other notable Augustans. The entire museum is comfortably explored in about two hours, which makes it an easy and rewarding stop whether you're spending a full day downtown or pairing it with the Morris Museum of Art or the Riverwalk. It's the kind of place that leaves you with a clearer sense of Augusta's character, from its earliest settlements to the voices and industries that shaped the city you see today. Don't miss it.

I don't know about parking. Mrs. K. and I found ourselves lingering longest in the glass gallery, where the craftsmanship becomes almost hypnotic the more you study it. Some pieces feel impossibly delicate, others bold and architectural, and tucked among them was the one name I recognized immediately, Dale Chihuly, whose museum we last wandered through in Seattle. Seeing his work here, in a completely different context, gave the whole collection a sense of continuity across regions and styles, almost like running into an old friend in a new city. Beyond the glass, the museum opens into a thoughtful survey of Southern art that moves easily from landscapes to portraits to sculpture and even furniture, each room offering a slightly different rhythm. The landscapes in particular have that quiet, atmospheric quality Augusta does so well, while the portraits feel intimate without being fussy. Sculptural pieces and period furnishings round things out, giving the galleries a sense of depth and texture rather than a single through‑line. It's the kind of museum where two hours pass without you noticing, and you walk out feeling like you've had a conversation with the region rather than just looked at objects on walls.

The building is really a complex, a repurposed residential estate, with multiple levels. I arrived with an hour and a half before closing and used most of that time just skimming all the rooms, even though some areas were closed for installation. And it was free! The result is a lot of very specific content, from entries on food to war history to the nuclear facility nearby. Aiken County is surprisingly large and includes not only the town of Aiken but a broad swath of land that stretches to the river across from Augusta, and exhibitions here do focus on North Augusta and other towns in the area. Even one of the bathrooms had some information on military latrines as a sort of exhibit. The museum covers a lot of big historical events from a local perspective, so you'll get a window into the Civil War and a sense of the Colonial era and Native American history. I did not receive a tour as there was only one person working there, but it would likely be an interesting tour.

Since the building is located on Milledgeville Rd you might have to walk a bit since the lot next to the building can only hold about 10-15 vehicles total. --Ambience-- Museum with many display case that shows the history of Harlem, Georgia and the comedy duo of Hardy. Great tour through history and a bit of the comedy duo rise to stardom. --Service/Staff-- Friendly staff that were knowledge about Harlem and how this museum became the dedication of the birthplace of Oliver Hardy. --Products/Service-- Recommended for history nerds and people who love to pay their respects to the comedy duo. --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 50 plus people, but can get crowded. I believe the auditorium can hold over 75+ people, but the actual museum and welcome center can be crowded if all 50 people were there at once. --Overall-- Recommend stop if you are in the Augusta area and our a fan of the comedy duo.

They had many exhibits that our 7 & 12 year old enjoyed but they thoroughly enjoyed the second floor galleries with the dinosaur exhibit and the habitat exhibits. Staff was very friendly and helpful when fielding our questions. They also enjoyed seeing the the history of SC through the years represented through artifacts and the changes from the colony, war, and industrialization of the city with mills and the railroad. They also have a planetarium and a 4D shows offered throughout the day. Highly recommend adding this to your itinerary if you are in the Columbia area! The selection of exhibits were fun to see and educational.

We would definitely come back to the museum and see the war part that we didn't get a chance to see.
