According to the reviews on tripadvisor, it is only open on Saturdays. So I went on a Saturday, CLOSED. I guess no one wants us to visit!

I have been to this house many times and always learn something new about life in the 1700s. Sometimes there are colonial period reanactors in the yard demonstrating cooking, candlemaking, etc. I go home feeling blessed I have indoor plumbing, A/C, and a diswasher. This is a must see.

If you are from Area it's just a great place to take Guest to visit. And Augusta is also the Home of The Master's Golf Tournament. And Great Shopping there as well and you are within 3 hrs of any SC Beach and Ga Beaches as well. South Carolina and Georgia have a lot of History. Even in the Small Town I'm from Edgefield, SC is home Strom Thurmond and 10 Governors. But, also for our pottery and spoon man. His Spoons are works of art. SC and GA are full of Surprises and Ghosts too. We have it all. And Great Food.

Only open on Saturdays. Great to see a building built in 1797 but Ezekiel Harris was not a famous person of the time nor did he do anything amazing that they know about other then he served in the militia.

I love historic homes, but every time we tried to visit it was closed (including normal business hours). We could never seem to get there when someone was in office.

Great piece of history right in town. Locals need to visit this little gem!

More interpretive material would be nice. The building itself is the main attraction.

What a great tour! We had never heard of Ezekial Harris before we took the house tour. The guide not only was informative about the house, he also took time to tell us about some little known historical places in Augusta that we would never have found without his help.

The Ezekiel Harris House faces Broad Street but is easily accessible from the Eve Street/Crawford Avenue exit on the Calhoun Expressway (which becomes Washington Road as you drive north toward I-20). Ample parking is provided in a free lot adjacent to the house. The entrance to the parking lot is on Welsh Lane, which runs parallel to Broad between Eve Street and Crawford Avenue. The "lane" is two-way, but only wide enough for one car. A directional sign to the house is on the north side of Crawford at the intersection with Welsh Lane.At the top of the stairs leading to the back of the house is an anteroom containing a guestbook and two chairs. Visitors are instructed to sign the guestbook and wait for a guide. I didn't have a long wait; the guide came by as soon as I'd finished signing the guestbook. He collected my $2 admission fee and told me I could tour the house on my own or take a guided tour that would last for approximately 45 minutes.I opted for the guided tour, and once inside I was very glad I'd gone with the guided option. The guide provides fascinating details about Ezekiel's motivation for building the house and his dream of founding a city that would rival Augusta, interesting facts that are not included on the descriptive panels inside the house.The interior of the house is relatively small -- each floor consists of two rooms off a central hallway. Furnishings are true to the period in which the house was built but do not include items personally associated with Ezekiel Harris. The house is elevated to allow air to circulate below the first floor in an attempt to keep the interior somewhat more comfortable in Georgia's humidity. Therefore a slight set of steps must be climbed to reach the first floor, and a greater number of steps must be climbed to tour the second floor, which might deter some visitors.A non-franchise (and evidently long-standing) hamburger stand is located across Broad Street from the Ezekiel Harris House. It doesn't have a seating area, only a takeout window, but it did appear to have a steady stream of customers the afternoon I toured the Harris house.
