A trip back in time

Scenic Mountain RV Park

Milledgeville, Ga

Another missed opportunity!  If they had taken me with them today, I could have had some new playmates.  I may have been overwhelmed though if these peacocks decided to fan their tails.

 

These peacocks were located in a pen at Andalusia, the home of writer Flannery O'Connor.  
 

Andalusia was a cotton plantation and farm in the 1800's until purchased by the Flannery family in 1931 when it became a dairy and beef farm.  

Flannery was diagnosed with lupus in 1951, so she moved to the farm to live under the care of her mother.

This was the period when Flannery O'Conner wrote.  

The home was gifted to the Georgia College.  The docent was a current student of history attending the college.  Touring the home, the lifestyle of the 1950's was on display.

Many of Flannery's books were available for purchase at the ticket counter.
