We were skeptical about whether or not this would be worth our time. After all, Flannery spent only her childhood here. However, it turned out to be a great visit. We happened to be the only visitors while we were there, so we got a private guided tour through the house by a very knowledgeable gentleman who knew a lot... More

For Flannery O'Connor fans, this is a MUST SEE!! Don't miss this this visitor friendly museum which offers many personal glimpses into the early life of one of the world's most unique writers.

"In the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells." ~ Flannery O'Connor. Toby is engaging as an in-residence tour guide and does an exceptional job of making the house come alive by sharing insights into the childhood relationships and experiences that shaped Flannery O'Connor's writing. While there I... More

This is an ordinary house, ca. 1850, 3 rooms deep and 3 storeys tall, facing Square in Savannah. In the 1920's, it was one of several rental properties owned by a rich aunt, who provided it to her niece and niece's husband while they were getting started. In 1925, the couple had their only child at a hospital a couple... More

Very small but has some very interesting artifacts and information about on O'Connor's life and has a very interesting and knowledgeable director available to answer questions.

Even though I had not read any Flannery O'Connor before heading on this tour, our tour/tour guide caused me to want to buy her stories (they sell them there!) and get reading immediately! My family liked that the tour was informal - you don't have to buy tickets ahead of time and they are happy to accommodate you when you... More

I've also been to Andalusia, Flannery O'Conner's adult home in Milledgeville, GA. That was a longer, more in-depth tour than this one was, but this one had some really amazing details that you would never be able to see anywhere else. I'm a huge Flannery fan, and it was so cool to see her childhood report cards, books she'd taken... More

I toured the home with a small group of which half were very familar with the author and the other half like myself not. Our guide Toby, I believe the manager, made the story and home fascinating for all of us. In todays world Flannery (and by my opinion) would have been diagnosed as autistic or with some other challenge... More

This quite modest house museum was a surprising find. The tour guides bring Mary Flannery O'Connor's childhood alive. It was a delightful hour.
