Mackay House (British Headquarters)

Historic House

Built around 1760, the Mackay House is one of the few surviving colonial-era structures in Augusta and served as British headquarters during their occupation of the town. It is preserved by Historic Augusta and interpreted as a window into the colonial and Revolutionary War period in the Georgia backcountry.
