The Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson presents Bringing Up a President: Tea with Mrs. Wilson

The Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson, in partnership with Destination Augusta’s Authentic Augusta Experience, has developed a program to immerse you, make you a part of the experience, and leave you with lifelong memories of your visit to Augusta.

Discover how Woodrow Wilson’s boyhood in Augusta shaped the character and the life of the 28th President of the United States. You will meet Mrs. Wilson who will recount Tommy’s experiences growing up in Augusta and how the lessons of his youth formed his character. You will also have tea with Mrs. Lamar, stepmoth- er of Joseph R. Lamar, who served as a Supreme Court Justice and was Wilson’s childhood best friend.

This interactive educational experience allows visitors to engage with both presenters, as well as leave with tangible keepsakes and fond memories. This special tour will be offered for $25 per person. Group reservations are by appointment only. Public tours (beginning in June) will be offered the first Friday at 4:30pm and first Saturday at noon. Tickets may be purchased by calling 706.724.0436 or via https://wilsonboyhoodhome.org/visit/ special-events/bringing-up-a-president/.

Destination Augusta believes recruiting and hosting these events plays a critical role in sustaining the nearly 26,000 jobs that are part of the Leisure and Hospitality Industry, the fourth largest employment sector in the metro area.
