Our friend Rob is the director of the museum at Ole Miss and consequently Faulkner's home is under his care and supervision. We had a private tour with Rob that was quite amazing.

| The classic entrance to the Faulkner home |
 |
| On the wall next to his phone Faulkner had written his important phone #s |
 |
| The house is very much the way it was when Faulkner passed away in 1962. I really like this shot! |
 |
| Faulkner did not allow any electronics in the house except for this one radio in his daughter's room |

Faulkner's writing room and typewriter
You gotta love the story boards hand written on the wall of his writing room !!
And the most amzing thing of all is that Harry Potter lived under the stairway. . . . LOL
Faulkner's contributions to American Literature and writing style were revolutionary in many ways and these few pictures hardly tell the whole story. We also learned that much of his career evolved into writing screenplays for Hollywood. There is something quite magical about this museum house that is hard to describe.
