AN INDOOR GROUP ACTIVITY 

For groups looking to discover some unfrequented American history, you’ll learn about the Wilson family’s life in Augusta from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, mother of President Woodrow Wilson. During the tour, she welcomes you as a guest into her home as she shares the tales of “Tommy,” as the president was known as a boy. She recollects how he led the Lightfoot Baseball Club, sometimes ran into trouble, and carved his name into one of the home's window panes! 

IT'S TEA TIME 

In true Southern hospitality, you’ll enjoy tea and pie with Mrs. Wilson and her neighbor Mrs. Lamar as you get to know one another and hear how these two mothers raised a President and a Supreme Court Justice.
