Wren's Nest House Museum, Atlanta

Come and visit the Joel Chandler Harris House, a Queen Anne-style home in Atlanta built in the year 1870, where the beloved editor of the Atlanta Constitution, Joel Chandler Harris, once resided until his passing in 1908. His lasting legacy remains evident, as he is famously known as the author of the captivating "Uncle Remus" tales, inspired by stories shared by slaves during his youth.

The Wren's Nest, as it came to be called in 1900, when the Harris family discovered a wren nesting in their mailbox, is still beautifully maintained and even contains Harris's original furniture and uses the authentic paint colors. This residence, now a National Historic Landmark, offers visitors the chance to explore and even participate in regular storytelling sessions, all hosted by the organization that manages the Wren's Nest.

Don't miss the chance to visit this culturally significant home and experience the wonders of the past firsthand. Take a leisurely stroll through the backyard, or choose to be enlightened by one of the highly informative tour guides; either way, the writer's bedroom is an a must-see!
