The North Augusta living history park is a unique, immersive experience where the past comes to life through costumed interpreters, historic buildings, and hands-on demonstrations.

Visitors can walk through a colonial times school, church market and much more. Visitors can also watch traditional crafts like blacksmithing or weaving, and engage with interpreters who portray everyday life from Colonial Times. The North Augusta Living History Park aims to educate and inspire by allowing visitors to step directly into the world of the past — smelling the wood smoke, trying the food, and witnessing the routines of people who lived centuries ago. It’s history you don’t just learn — you live it.
