Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home, 207 East Charlton Street, Savannah, Georgia, U.S.

Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964) spent the first thirteen years of her life in a home bordering Lafayette Square in Savannah, Georgia.  Recently renovated, “the two main floors of the home have been closely restored to the time that the O’Connor family lived [there],” allowing visitors a chance to step back in time and imagine O’Connor’s childhood.  After touring the home, open from 1:00-4:00 p.m. every day except Thursday, extend your “bookpath” with a walk around Lafayette Square, much as it was when O’Connor walked its cobblestone paths.
