Andalusia

Andalusia is located on the west side of US Highway 441, about four miles northwest of Milledgeville in Georgia. It was the home of the American author Flannery O'Connor from 1951 until her death in 1964 and is where she completed her two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away. The estate comprises of 544 acres and the house itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Self guided walk tours are available to the public from 10am to 4pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. People can also arrange a visit by appointment seven days a week where they can see the main house including O'Connor's room, the dining room, kitchen, sitting room and a guest room located upstairs. In addition to this, guests are encouraged to walk around the farm complex where they will see the dairy worker's house, water tower, barns, an old pump house and the milk processing shed.

Members of staff are on hand to answer questions about the house as well as Flannery O'Connor. One of the popular sights here are the peafowl, which O'Connor kept during her time living at Andalusia. A gift shop in the house sells unique souvenirs as well as books written by O'Connor and about her work.
