Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Wednesday, December 21st, 2016

One of Augusta's most unique and historical attractions, the Haunted Pillar, was destroyed this weekend in a car crash. The Augusta Convention & Visitors Bureau has heard from many in the community of their concern for the pillar and has started a Go Fund Me page to allow people passionate about the pillar to contribute to its restoration.
 
In addition to the Go Fund Me account, pillar supporters can buy a Haunted Pillar t-shirt at the Augusta Visitor Center. For every t-shirt purchased, the Augusta CVB will donate $2.00 toward the rebuilding of the Haunted Pillar.

You can also purchase a Killer Pillar t-shirt and Land of Thee will donate $2.00 for every t-shirt sold to the Haunted Pillar rebuilding fund. Additionally, you can buy a tour ticket from the Augusta Ghost Trolley and a portion of ticket sales will be donated toward the repairs of the pillar.

"The Haunted Pillar is part of urban legend and has been a valued tourism asset for many years. It is very unique to Augusta,” said Barry White, President/CEO of the Augusta CVB. “The community sells Haunted Pillar souvenir t-shirts, it’s included in various tours and it has been written about and featured in many television series, websites and travel media.”
 
The Haunted Pillar belongs to the City of Augusta who is investigating the amount it will take to repair it. Any donations made to the Go Fund Me account and other sales will go to restore the Pillar and will be given in support of those efforts to rebuild it.
