Description
One of Georgia's most beloved storytellers got her start at this modest house. O'Connor's unflinching portrayals of life in the South, generously infused with wit and pathos, not only won her acclaim and numerous national awards, but also opened the door for other Southern writers to a more national audience. Her works included A Good Man is Hard to Find and Wise Blood. Readings, lectures and other programs are offered periodically at and through the museum.
