Part of the Southern Literary Trail, this small museum in downtown Eatonton features exhibits on four authors who called Central Georgia home: Joel Chandler Harris, Sidney Lanier, Flannery O’Connor, and Alice Walker. They also display items from the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame in partnership with the University of Georgia’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Check their calendar online for frequent “meet the author” events highlighting current Georgia writers.
Eatonton is the birthplace of celebrated novelist Joel Chandler Harris, of Br'er Rabbit and Uncle Remus fame. This museum, built from authentic slave cabins, houses countless carvings, paintings, first-edition books, and other artwork depicting the characters made famous by the imaginative author. It's on the grounds of a park. Note the museum closes for lunch from noon until 1 daily, so plan your visit accordingly.
