Starting the first weekend of June, the Boyhood Home of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson will be inviting guests to book a completely immersive and historical tea party to relive lessons of Wilson’s youth.
Located at 419 7th St. in downtown Augusta, the tour takes place at the Boyhood Home of Woodrow WIlson where he lived from 1858 to 1870.
Characters from the 28th president’s past will include Woodrow Wilson’s mother and the stepmother of his childhood best friend, Joseph R. Lamar, who went on to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.
As Mrs. Wilson welcomes guests into her home for tea and pie, stories will highlight “Tommy’s” experiences growing up in Augusta, how he led the Lightfoot Baseball Club and vital lessons of his youth that shaped his character.
According to a press release from the Wilson Boyhood Home, “this interactive educational experience allows visitors to engage with both presenters, as well as leave with tangible keepsakes and fond memories.”
In partnership with Destination Augusta’ Authentic Augusta Experience, this special tour will be available for $25 per person with group tours by appointment only.
Beginning in June, the tea experience will be offered the first Friday of every month at 4:30 p.m. and the first Saturday at noon. Tickets may be purchased by calling (706) 724-0436 or by visiting https://wilsonboyhoodhome.org/visit/special-events/bringing-up-a-president/
All tours begin at the welcome center in the ground floor of the Supreme Court Justice Joseph Lamar Boyhood Home next door at 415 7th St., and parking can be found at the Lamar House for visitors’ convenience.
