A big event for us at the AHCNA is coming up in March, March 20 to be exact. We will be having our major fundraiser, Paint Your Palate. Tickets are on sale now!!! Stop by our gift shop to pick up your tickets. This year’s event will be at the Palmetto Terrace aka fourth floor of the Municipal Building. This is always a fun night especially with the opportunity to bid on both silent and live auction items.

We will also be having Historic North Augusta trolley tours every first Sunday of the month. We’ve had full trolleys for each of the tours so far. Its a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Stay turned for other events on the Sundays that we are open!!! Go to our Events or Tours page to find out more information.

Last year, the city of North Augusta started having Third Thursdays Downtown. They will be doing it again this year. The AHCNA as well as other downtown business will be open late the third Thursday of every month.

We are bursting at the seams with anticipation for Fall.

We have a plethora of events that we just added to our schedule for the Fall. The busy Fall will kick off with the Meet and Greet this Sunday with DS Owens, Michael Drake and CASE. Stop by and say HI!!

Following that we have for September, a Lunch & Learn, Third Thursday Downtown Live, and our Blue Jeans and Bluegrass Fundraiser. Love BBQ, you have got to get a ticket for Blue Jeans and Bluegrass. Riverside has great BBQ not to mention that our entertainment for that night is The Henry’s.

In October, we have another full month of events and activities, starting off is a jewelry making class with Senn Designs. Love history – the trolley will be making the rounds on Sunday, October 5th. We also have a new exhibit opening that month on October 17, which also happens to be Third Thursday Downtown Live!!!

November is also equally busy as September and October. The trolley will be coming around on Sunday, November 3rd to chauffeur history buffs around North Augusta. We have our Holiday Market – Sip, Savor and Shop on November 7th. This is a perfect time to pick up Holiday gifts. We will be open later on November 21st to support Third Thursday Downtown Live!!
