With 11 months of conservation work behind us, the entire project finally is coming to a close. It’s been a long, rewarding road, and naturally, we wanted to end on a high note — the bathroom.

Robin John and I soooo enjoyed our tour and the WONDERFUL storytelling at the Wren's Nest last Saturday. The storytelling was the best I've ever heard! He took me all the way back to my childhood. It was nice, too, to meet you, Lain. What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday!

Today marks the 63rd anniversary of the release of Song of the South. Weirdly enough, Disney first chose to market the film as an “Old South Romance.”

Shelley Stangeland Miller I am researching the Cheney side of my family. Maude Cheney married Daniel Camp and had son, Edwin Camp. Edwin married Joel's daughter Mildred Harris at the Wren's Nest. I was wondering if you had any pictures of Edwin to share? He was editor of the Atlanta Journal. Thanks!

Judy Just read the article in the AJC. I grew up hearing the stories and was never aware that they were suppose to be making fun of anyoneuntil I was grown. I thought that Brer Rabbit was extremely smart, and would have loved to have someone in my family who told stories as well as Uncle Remus. I am glad that the house and stories are taking their rightful place.

The Herndon Home is the historic home of Alonzo Herndon, the one-time slave who became the first African-American millionaire in Atlanta. The house doesn’t have much funding, doesn’t offer many tours, and doesn’t employ an executive director at the moment.
