Reviews
"It was a surprise finding this place but I'm glad I did. It was very nice coming through the trail from the museum to it. Made me appreciate it more"
"IT WAS really cool to see this historical place. But why not open the inside to the public? Charge a small fee get a couple of tour guides. BAM someone making money. I really want to see the inside. In Key West, they opened the Hemingway House (Ernest). It's in great shape and it sees several hundred people a day. Maybe even a thousand. People love this place. I'm just saying RowenOak is a history buffs dream. Why not open it up? GOOD MANAGEMENT is all you need."
"Two ways to be there. You can drive to the Old Tayler Road, there is a turn and it is the close entrance. Or you have to go through a great but muddy trail, starting from the museum parking lot. The building is for sure extremely beautiful and meaningful. Cannot go into the building because of the university holiday but walking around is enough."
"Did a quick walk through of this place while in Oxford. I'm more in it for a historical perspective with the structures and history. It was nice and educational. I learned a lot about the author Faulkner that lived there in the end while that was not why we went. Even if you're not interested in his works alone his estate itself made it a great stop to see while in town. The estate is pretty much all authentic it appears from the 1950's (maybe a bit later) to when it was mostly built in the 1840's. You can't even drive up to it and you have to park on a small gravel trail pretty much. So it makes it even more interesting. I definitely recommend it and Oxford as a whole if in the area!"
"I really enjoyed this place. I went mid-January, so the trees had no leaves, but the grounds were still beautiful. I can't imagine living here in the height of Spring and early Summer, but it must look amazing. I don't know much about Falkner, and not sure I've ever read his works. But as a former English Major, I try to go see author's homes. I loved how he used to write on the walls and they showed examples of this. This was a nice home. Even if you aren't into literature, but if you are into old homes, I think you'd still like it. This was definitely a highlight of Oxford. The only bad part was it was kind of hard to find the road to get down to the house. There was no paved parking, which I'm sure they just don't have the funds to have."
