After 13 months of closure due to the novel coronavirus, The Wren’s Nest--The historic home of Joel Chandler Harris, and the birthplace of the American illustrated storybook--will return to regular operations beginning 1 p.m. Saturday, May 15, according to a press release. There will be a special live storytelling session and the introduction of new Wren’s Nest House Tours.
Weekly storytelling sessions will continue 1 p.m. Saturdays along with house tours available on the hour and half hour from 11-12:30, preceding the live storytelling and again at 2 and 2:30, following the live storytelling. This schedule will continue through the summer. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $6 for children 3-9.
The Wren’s Nest, located at 1050 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. SW, has examined each function and service provided to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These elements will be regularly monitored for compliance.
Facial coverings will still be required for storytelling sessions and house tours. Social distancing methods will also be in place for these events.
