ANDALUSIA FARM- HOME OF FLANNERY O'CONNOR
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA
Andalusia Farm is the former home of American author Flannery O’Connor. Located in Milledgeville, Georgia, Andalusia Farm was built in 1825. The property consists of a two-story main house, an outbuilding, and ten acres of land. The main house is a red brick plantation-style home with white columns and a wrap-around porch. Inside, the house is furnished with antiques that reflect the family’s Southern heritage. The outbuilding is a two-story wooden structure with a kitchen, dining area, and living room on the first floor and a master bedroom and two other bedrooms on the second.
Flannery O’Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925 and moved with her family to Andalusia Farm in 1938. She spent much of her time in the outbuilding, writing stories and novels. O’Connor wrote some of her most famous works while at Andalusia Farm, including “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “The Violent Bear It Away.” She was an avid animal lover and kept a variety of peacocks, geese, and other animals at the farm.
O’Connor died in 1964 and the property was left to her mother, Regina O’Connor. In the late 1960s, Regina donated the farm to the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, which now operates the site as a historic house museum. Today, visitors can tour both the main house and outbuilding and learn about Flannery O’Connor’s life and work. The grounds are also open to the public, and many of the peacocks, geese, and other animals that O’Connor cared for still roam the property.
