Meadow Garden

Meadow Garden is located on the west side of downtown Augusta, from the historic Augusta trail separating Augusta, just east of Sutherland Factory. This is a 1-1 / 2-story wooden frame structure set in high brick basement. It was built in the stage, originally wide three open, but now is six, three gable skylights and two chimneys protruding from the roof gable. A shed roof porch extends throughout the front, supported by a slender Doric column. The facade is irregularly arranged with two doors and four windows. [2] The oldest part of the house, with its right three open rooms, was built in 1791 to the left some time after 1800 to add three bays, and may also be added to the front porch later. Although the property never got what he owned, it was a signatory to the American Declaration of Independence from the home of George Walton, who died in 1791 in 1804. As a trained lawyer, he served as a Continental Congress (1776-1781) and Georgian militia, and in his service he was captured by Britain during 1778 by Savannah. In exchange and publication, he was subsequently elected governor of Georgia, who held his office in November 1779 in January 1780, and served in the state's chief judge's office, and served a second term as governor from 1789 to 1780. He died at the Hill Academy, his country house, in 1804[2] the house passed on to the Walton family in 1812, and now owned and worked by the local branch of the museum as the daughter of the American Revolution.

It is the oldest house in Augusta, and looks simple compared to the surrounding houses, but its owner was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and was later elected governor of Georgia and the United States Senate.
