Andalusia is the historic farm home of Flannery O’Connor, an American writer from the South who wrote two novels, 32 short stories and a number of reviews and commentaries.
Flannery O’Connor, born in Savannah, Georgia, on March 25, 1925, later moved to Milledgeville, Georgia where she attended Georgia State College for Women in 1945. She earned an MFA in 1947 from the State University of Iowa. O’Connor lived in New York and Connecticut before returning to Milledgeville to live at her family’s farm, Andalusia, from 1951 until her death from lupus in 1964.
O’Connor often commented about Andalusia in her letters and described with great humor and affection the operation of this dairy farm managed by her mother, Regina Cline O’Connor.
At Andalusia, O’Connor also found the source of many of the settings, situations, and fictional characters of her stories. While living at Andalusia, she completed two novels and two collections of short stories. Andalusia is open for public tours.
