Our motto is “History on the river... Augusta, my old Kentucky home.”

Noted author, Walter Rankin once wrote about Augusta:

“Nestling among a bower of trees on the edge of the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, lies the town of Augusta. 'It is one of the most beautiful situations on the Ohio,' where the river runs in a direct course for several miles and where the sunsets send a riot of color aloft to the gold clouds against the blue of the early evening sky, while the shadows of light and dark silhouette the high Kentucky hills-and as the day closes a blanket of purple and grey envelope the low rolling Ohio hills, that seem to extend down to the very water's edge of the river's bend, to make the setting and the scene one of the most beautiful in all the world."

Shortly before his death, at 102 years old, Kentucky's Historian Laureate, Dr. Thomas D. Clark, made a list of 11 places where every Kentuckian should visit. The eleven places are Mammoth Cave, the Cumberland Gap, Shaker Village, Lilley Cornett Woods, the Fitchburg Iron Furnace, the Speed Art Museum, the Falls of the Ohio, the Abbey of Gethsemani, the Cane Ridge Meeting House, The Land Between the Lakes and the City of Augusta.
