The site even has a library and you're allowed to sit and read stories Ms. O'Connor wrote, etc. It's really a friendly place.Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-90333780760027507422016-02-24T17:10:58.159-05:002016-02-24T17:10:58.159-05:00I'm shocked they allowed you to walk around li...I'm shocked they allowed you to walk around like that and even sit on the bed.Mark Muratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562597698193306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-78762787431120816422016-02-12T22:56:58.268-05:002016-02-12T22:56:58.268-05:00The docent told us quite a bit about Flannery'...The docent told us quite a bit about Flannery's aunt, who provided the house and a job for her father.

And because it's lesser known, the docents have extra time to talk, share their memories, and answer questions.Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-22526538121791567072016-02-12T22:51:54.514-05:002016-02-12T22:51:54.514-05:00I know you'd love it.I know you'd love it.

It's totally cool that you were actually able to go into the rooms and get up close and personal with the things in there. Most of the historical homes we've ever visited have the rooms cordoned off. Lot of looking, but no touching.<br /><br />That old film clip is great. And it's amazing it's still around, and you were able to find it!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-62706661003477104792016-02-12T10:21:09.573-05:002016-02-12T10:21:09.573-05:00Very cool!

I love "lesser known" historic houses--not only do they give us a peek at a favorite author, artist, or historical figure, but they do a great job showing other angles of the past.
