Oh, this is a great visit and article! Flannery is one of my favorite authors to read and teach. Her voice and her insistence are unmatched as a Catholic Southern woman. Lovely post and a tribute to her.
Lovely tour! Living in Georgia all my life, I finally went to Andalusia last March with my family and posted about it for her 99th birthday. I too visited all these spots in Milledgeville. The fact that the house is largely the same, with most of the original furnishings and other belongings, is a real treat. And I was born on the exact date of O'Connor's death, fifteen years later!
Thanks, Erin! So glad you enjoyed the tour. Please send the link to your 99th birthday post....In other O'Connor news, a friend sent me this yesterday:
Wonderful post! I was just there for the first time myself! If you’re inclined, check out the post I wrote for her 100th birthday. I think you’ll dig it.

Thank you, Brittany, for taking the tour! She was a great lady, to be sure. You might be interested in what a friend sent me yesterday:
