WHAT TO EXPECT
Guided tours include both levels of the home that the O’Connor family occupied. Each room has been closely restored to the Depression era, presenting unique insights into this time period in Savannah and into the formative years of one of America’s greatest writers. While visiting us, please consider shopping from our selection of fiction and nonfiction books by O’Connor as well as our stationery, stickers, buttons and other special Flannery-related items.

"My favorite thing I did during our trip to Savannah! It’s great for Flannery fans obviously but also worthwhile for anyone even mildly interested in history."

"Of all the classic tourist activities in Savannah, Tybee Island, etc., this was by far my favorite...the exhibits were fascinating and so helpful. It was the closest I have gotten to personally meeting the woman who has profoundly shaped me. In doing so, I met part of myself."

This tour was our favorite of all in Savannah! It was different and interesting to see a 20th century home tour versus the usual 19th century...Can't recommend this enough--everyone enjoyed it--even those who didn't know anything about O'Connor. We're all reading her stories now!
