ABOUT
Augusta Canal National Heritage Boat Tours
Augusta Canal National Heritage Area is the site of the Augusta Canal, built in 1845 as a source of power, water and transportation. It’s the only intact industrial canal in the American South in continuous use. Used during the Civil War, it was deepened and widened in the 1870s bringing an industrial boom to the city. The Canal and its mills are a National Historic Landmark and the Augusta Canal and nearby land are designated a National Heritage Area. Several canal-side structures pre-date the Civil War and others are dated to the later 19th Century and the heyday of America’s Industrial Revolution.
