I was searching for old images of the house for @ancientatlanta I found these and thought I would share them with everyone!

My favorite is the one of likely Ms. Harris pictured as everyone like to be pictured...bum in the air! The last one is not of The Wren's Nest but instead is Turnwold Plantation out in Eatonton GA close to the time Joel Chandler Harris was working there. Next time you visit the Nest see if you can spot where Ms. Harris was gardening. :)
