The house, trees and surrounding landscape provide a close connection with the novelist’s working life and the Mississippi setting that informed his fiction.

The house currently requires cash admission, while the grounds follow a daylight schedule. Bailey Woods trail conditions and guided or group programs should be checked independently.
