In February, the National Park Service named Andalusia, the home of author Flannery O’Connor, a National Historic Landmark.
This designation recognizes O’Connor as a significant contributor to the United States’ cultural heritage and Andalusia as a place worthy of preservation and interpretation.
On Monday, July 25, National Park Service representatives will travel to Milledgeville to celebrate this designation with a plaque presentation.
Georgia College Director of Historic Museums Matt Davis joined WRGC host Daniel McDonald to talk about the designation and what it means for visitors to the house museum dedicated to O’Connor, her writing and the Cline-O’Connor family history in Milledgeville. Davis also previews the opening of a new interpretive center at Andalusia.
The public celebration of the National Historic Landmark designation takes place at 10 a.m., Monday, July 25, 2022 near the farmhouse at Andalusia.
