Augusta is a quaint little town. It is unincorporated so we have no mayor, no leash law for dogs, no curfew, no local law enforcement(only county), no regular trash  More

Relocated to this town to be close to family. Pros to living in Lemhi County would obviously be outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, hunting  More
