Celebrate the Southern Literary Trail on the 95th birthday of Byron Herbert Reece. Reece and our Center joined the company of other distinguished writers and their respective venues Byron Herbert Reece and the Reece Farm and Heritage Center are now included on the Southern Literary Trail. In a unanimous vote by the Trail’s Board of Directors in a July 20th meeting, Reece and our Center joined the company of other distinguished writers and their respective venues. This is definitely an honor for our Center. The Southern Literary Trail encompasses the 3 states of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. It is 'a project uniting homes of writers and literary landmarks into one tri-state pathway.' For devotees of literary figures and lovers of the literature they have produced, this Trail may very well become a well-traveled itinerary. To be on this map is a bonus in all respects for our Center. At present, the SLT includes sites in six Georgia cities that are connected to six authors: Lillian Smith in Clayton; Joel Chandler Harris (the Wrens Nest) and the Margaret Mitchell House Museum in Atlanta; Erskine Cald-well in Moreland; Carson McCullers in Columbus; Flannery O’Connor in Savannah and Milledgeville: and Alice Walker in Milledgeville. Now Reece and Blairsville will be added to this company. If you are interested in knowing more about the Trail, visit website at www.southernliterarytrail.org. *Parking available in back lot. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to rosemary@yhc.edu Phone: Dr. John Kay, Chair, Byron Herbert Reece Society - 706-379-3219 |
