Miss Welty donated the house to her state in 1986 so they kept everything from that time period and before. Also, she had an aluminum drip coffee pot just like one my grandmother had. The sink was a large one with a drainboard like the second one in this link. Miss Welty’s was the traditional white instead of green though. Their reactions made me chuckle because so many things were exactly like my Grandma Nita’s house and even my childhood home. Our guide was about twenty-two, and she and Claire were amazed at all of the old stuff in the house.
I felt bad for dragging Claire around another old house because we’d already visited two plantation homes, but she said she enjoyed seeing “80s stuff.” Claire is all about the 1980s. The garden always figured in her stories and novels in unique ways. Other charming aspects of the garden were signs that contained passages from Miss Welty’s books. Claire noticed they use they same plant tags I do. July wasn’t the best time of the year to visit the garden. With camellias and roses being predominant features, it would be much better in February, March and April. Photos aren’t allowed inside so I had to content myself with photos of the outside and the garden.
#Eudora welty house and garden movie#
We went through the visitor’s center, watched a lovely movie on Miss Welty, who is one of my favorite authors, and then we were set to go see the house.
Still, I found the visitor’s center open, and another couple was there too. You’re supposed to call beforehand, but we were unable to do this on such short notice. He is cared for by the neighborhood, and he is sitting on a stone from Welty’s father’s office building. Sal, who has adopted the Welty house and visitor’s center.
