In 1860, Presbyterian minister Joseph Wilson, pastor of a church in Augusta GA, moved into a two-story house on 7th Street. Along with his wife and two daughters, Wilson had a three-year old son named Thomas Woodrow Wilson. In the house next store lived another pastor of a different church, and Tommy Wilson’s best friend, Joseph Lamar. The Wilsons lived there for the next ten years.
Later, Joseph Lamar would grow up to be a Supreme Court Justice, and Woodrow Wilson would be President of the United States.
Today, the Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson is owned by the nonprofit Historic Augusta Inc., and is open for tours three days a week.
