Old Augusta Historic Site, Archaeological site in Perry County, Mississippi
The Old Augusta Historic Site contains remains of structures and artifacts from a former town established along the Leaf River in Mississippi.
The settlement served as Perry County's administrative center from 1818 to 1906, hosting a United States General Land Office for regional land transactions.
The location played a central role in the 1833 public sale of Choctaw cession lands, marking a significant period in Native American and settler relations.
Visitors can explore the woodland area where concrete and brick remnants indicate the previous existence of government, business, and residential districts.
The town relocated entirely when the Mobile, Jackson, and Kansas City Railroad was built 2 miles south, transforming into what became New Augusta.
