The Wren's Nest

Once the residence of Joel Chandler Harris—known for collecting and publishing Uncle Remus African American folktales—the site functions today as a non-profit cultural center committed to literary heritage. The two-acre property unfolds under mature magnolias, featuring a covered wraparound porch, a reading garden, and expansive outdoor grounds with a built-in stage for community events and performances. Educational outreach remains central to the mission through initiatives like the Scribes youth writing program.
