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 Wren's Nest wants to give a shout out to the struggling Herndon Home.

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.
Vickie Minton Whitehead I just read the article in the AJC about The Wren's Nest - I visited there as a child and loved it. I also took my children there in the 80's and was saddened by the state of disrepair the house was in. I'm so glad I'll be able to take my grandsons there before too long. The article caught my eye because I'm in the process of reading Georgia Stories by J.C. Harris.
Pam Cottingham I just read an article about the Wren's Nest in the newspaper and am so happy to see that it is still there. I remember about 50 years ago as a Girl Scout coming there on a field trip and the joy and awe i felt. i grew up in Marietta but now live in Alabama but this article just brought me back with a happy memory. Thanks.
Carol J. Bramblett Pritchard I would sit on my Daddy's lap and he would read me the Uncle Remus Stories. Daddy was from the mountains of Georgia and he could read them like it was Uncle Remus telling them. I will always have those memories.
Ken Russell I have loved Brer Rabbit and Uncle Remus since I was a kid when I saw "Song of the South" for the very first time. Watching it always takes me to my "Happy Place".

I grew up in Athens, GA and never knew there was an Uncle
Remus museum until today when I read the article in the paper. I can't wait to go to Atlanta and visit. I think Song of the South was possibly one of the first films I ever saw and I love it. My daddy used to read Uncle Remus stories to us and we loved them. Thanks for bringing Uncle Remus back!
Nancy Reiter Lauritzen Thanks for bringing back happy memories of an innocent time in my life when I had no idea how hurtful these stories might be and just loved them as a child. We all could use just a little innocence today and sharing these stories might be a very healing thing for the next generation.
Richard Howell Great article in the Savannah Morning News today.
Jill I grew up in Atlanta and remember going to the Wren's Nest back in the '70's. Such a great part of historic Atlanta.
Gina Hodges Martin Glad to see you on here. I've been a fan of Brer Rabbit since I was a little girl, and I'm glad to see you fighting for his place in our literary heritage. Thanks for your tireless efforts!
The Wren's Nest wants to know what's going on with Ruth Warrick's hair. Err, hat.
