About this activity
Visit: Wren's Nest, 1050 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd SW, Atlanta, GA 30310-1812
After your arrival at Wren's Nest, you'll meet your guide and begin your tour. Your guide will introduce you to the legendary turn-of-the-century author, Joel Chandler Harris. You will then follow your guide on a 45-minute tour of Harris' home.
As you tour the home you'll learn how Joel Chandler Harris first heard the story of Brer Rabbit while working on a southern plantation and how Atlanta’s oldest house museum now preserves African American folklore or yesteryear.
If you are visiting on a Saturday, make sure to plan your visit for 1pm, when on site storytellers share the Brer Rabbit stories -- a great addition to any tour for any age!
Feel free to pack a lunch. The Wren's Nest was once a 19th century working farm and you are welcome to stay and enjoy a picnic on the 2.5-acre property in the heart of Metro-Atlanta.
