Weyers Cave

Visit the AMA Museum at Ft. Defiance

The Augusta Military Academy Museum is located in the 130-year-old home of the school’s founder, Professor Charles S. Roller. The dwelling was constructed just after the Civil War and has been restored to the interior and exterior look of the late 1800s. Those interested in architecture and construction will find a small display of 19th Century construction techniques.

The house sits in a grove of old trees next to the stately barracks which housed academy cadets beginning in 1915 until the school closed in 1984. The site is on the US Interior Department’s National Register of Historic Places. The museum is open Tuesday thru Sunday 10 ‘til 4.
