St. Paul's Episcopal Church

Church

One of Augusta's oldest congregations, St. Paul's traces its roots to the colonial period and was present during the Revolutionary War. The church and its grounds served as a gathering point for Augusta's civic community through the British occupation and the reconstitution of Patriot government after the 1781 recapture. The current structure dates from the 19th century but sits on ground with deep colonial associations.
