Laney-Walker Heritage Walking Tour

9:30 AM – 11:00 AM – Cost: $20.00 per adult, $10.00 per child (12 and under)

Discover the profound and historic impact of the Laney-Walker district of Augusta, GA on this special guided tour.

When you hear Welcoming America and Welcoming Augusta, perhaps you think about an America and an Augusta which welcome people. You think of “Welcoming” as an adjective which describes “America” and “Augusta.”

What if you also thought about “Welcoming” as the gerund of the verb “welcome?” How do we “welcome” America and Augusta?

One important way to welcome a person is to get to know the person. You walk together in the park. You ask about the portraits on the wall.

Corey Rogers, the historian at the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History and Conference Center, has been conducting walking tours of the Laney-Walker district once a month. Upcoming dates are September 18 and October 16. Welcoming Augusta encourages you to register for any one of these dates and “get to know” Augusta so that you can more fully welcome it.

To register, send Mr. Rogers an e-mail.
