Located on author Flannery O’Connor’s Andalusia homestead, the new Interpretive Center is a modern reinterpretation of the agrarian vernacular of the historic farm site. Inside, a spacious exhibit room features permanent and rotating displays, complemented by a bookstore, collections storage, and administrative office space. The center serves as an educational and cultural resource that supports the historic site and preserves O’Connor’s legacy through campus programs and public events. Designed for scholarly research and visitor en- gagement, the interpretive center will celebrate literature, history and the legacy of Flannery O’Connor and will underscore Andalusia as a cherished destination for enthusiasts worldwide.
“The building is simple and clean; it becomes an exquisite and understated vessel that highlights the artifacts it houses. ”
