AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A monument stands on Greene Street to honor some of those who made our freedom possible. On Tuesday, a ceremony was held to honor Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independence. 'The monument itself was built in 1848. The Masons were here and laid the cornerstone for the monument to honor the three signers from Georgia that signed the Declaration of Independence,' said Thomas Miller, a local history teacher who was representing the William Few Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
