on a recent day trip south we stopped by the uncle remus museum in eatonton. the museum is compiled of 3 slave cabins from the 1800′s adorned with objects from this time and a handful of uncle remus related memorabilia. i wasn’t allowed to snap any pictures inside but the outside buildings were pretty charming.

for those of you who don’t know, uncle remus was a character in a series of books and songs written by joel chandler harris. the character told folkloric stories of the old south. while many people view these books to be controversial they still remain an integral part of the history of the south.

it was a fun little stop, and it costs a dollar to go into the museum…..a dollar well spent.
