Places of Interest

Augusta is a scenic drive no matter what direction you come from. When you are here you will feel "far away" from everything. You are, it seems, suddenly in the rural south. Driving to Augusta you will see burley tobacco leaves drying in barns, trees overhanging the road, railroad tracks, and the Augusta ferry crossing the wide blue waters of the Ohio River.

Mary Augusta Rogers, author of, "County Roads of Kentucky" writes this of her visit to the area (page 52-53 of her book.).
