Olde Towne Preservation Association of North Augusta

The Living History Park is a recreated village representing the period between 1735–1785, run by the non-profit Olde Towne Preservation Association and volunteers. 100% of funding comes from donations and grants. Reclaimed from a water works dump site, the village has numerous permanent buildings, including the Willow Spring Meeting House, the Blacksmith Forge, the Spring House Tavern, the Grist Mill, Thompson Academy, the Perry Hill Cabin, and many others.

While we love anyone to come and enjoy our free events or walk around the grounds, unfortunately, some visitors to our park vandalize our buildings which require expensive repairs that can only be done by trained craftsmen. Recently a group of individuals who visited our park destroyed the water trough of our prized Gristmill making it inoperable and cannot be enjoyed by the community or used during our education days for school children. In order to make the gristmill operable again, it will need to be repaired as well as have more security cameras installed. Your donation to this cause would be greatly appreciated so we can get our gristmill back in order.
