Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home Museum

16 Best Things to Do in Savannah, from Museums to Food Trucks

"Savannah’s favorite daughter, the great American writer Flannery O’Connor, was born in Savannah in 1925, and spent her childhood in a charming row house facing Lafayette Square. The eccentric spirit of O’Connor and her work infuses the museum today, which is just about as weird as you’d expect. It's also as fun as a restored Depression-era writer’s home could possibly be. They keep a robust schedule of activities like a regular free lecture series, an annual holiday reading of Truman Capote’s short story “A Christmas Memory,” and—best of all—a celebration of O’Connor’s birthday each March, which features a parade and street fair out front in Lafayette Square." - Ariel Felton, Sam Worley
