New Tour Script Launch Event

After 113 years, The Wren’s Nest — Atlanta’s oldest house museum — is recasting its story.

This spring the home of Joel Chandler Harris, the author of the Brer Rabbit tales and the creator of Uncle Remus, the fictional narrator who told them, is unveiling a new tour script. It’s the first step in a broader reinterpretation intended to give a fuller and richer account of the beloved folklore and the controversies that have accompanied it over the years through many adaptations.

We would like to invite you to the public launch event at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 28, that will include a moderated community conversation about the revision project and a guided tour highlighting new themes in how the museum tells its story.

Discounted tickets are available, contact admin@wrensnest.org to learn more
