My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting the house. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable.(She even knew Ms. O’Connor’s mother!) A definite must-see for fans of Flannery O’Connor’s work. If you want to see my photos or hear about some of the anecdotes the docent shared, you can blog my blog,

I highly recommend this house tour for fans of Flannery O’Connor or for those interested in seeing a 1930/40s era house. It’s not a grand house like the others in Savannah, but it still is quite nice inside and it feels more homey and«alive» than the other houses you’ll see in town. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and was the only person there, so I got a private tour. I had a male tour guide wearing pink shoes(can’t remember his name) and he was awesome: congenial and knowledgeable. He was able to answer almost all my questions about Flannery’s life and work.

Great tour, our guide Jo was an awesome lady and very informational. I went with a friend who had to do a review for one of his courses, but I really enjoyed it too. Definite must for anyone visiting the city, regardless if you are a big fan of Flannery O’Connor or don’t know much about her.

Loved it. Beautiful, walkable location and right across from the gorgeous cathedral. The tour was great, the guide was very knowledgable. There wasn’t a whole lot to look at but its always breathtaking to be in a place that once belonged to someone so important. Great little gift section too I’ve gotten so many compliments on my new shirt!

Great tour. The stories are wonderful and our guide Dennis was warm, engaging and had layers of knowledge about the home, the history and about O’Connors life. I really enjoyed that there were actual pieces of furniture and clothing items used by the family — and they allowed photos. Definitely worth the price.

It was nice to look at from the outside but it was closed during operating hours when I showed up.

Savannah is dominated by squares that divide and set out the city’s layout. The Flannery O’Connor childhood home sits right on one of these squares, across from a beautiful cathedral where young«Mary Flannery» would go to Mass. Make sure you call ahead to get tour times, but you’ll find the tour informative and engaging, and for those of you who love Flannery O’Connor, you’ll see and marvel at the very ordinary home of this woman who challenged us with views of the grotesque in her masterful novels.
