Kids Day at the Museum & Tractor Parade
Bring the family and spend the day playing fun games and enjoying snacks. Take a tour of the museum and learn Augusta history. A bonus, it happens to be the same day that there's a "food pantry" tractor parade, so bring some canned goods and when the parade rolls by the museum, wave to our local farmers and show them support.
