The sounds of Bluegrass music will echo across the grounds of Andalusia Saturday when the property hosts a concert featuring the group Redline Express.
Admission is $5 per person and concert attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs, a picnic basket, blankets and a flashlight.
“This is the fifth year that Andalusia has hosted a Bluegrass concert, and it has always been a very entertaining event. The front lawn of the farm house under the large oak trees is a perfect setting for this style of music. We hope that the concert will encourage people from the local area to visit Andalusia to see the improvements the foundation has made to some of the outbuildings and the property,” Craig Amason, executive director of the Flannery O’Connor-Andalusia Foundation, said.
He’s referring to new signs that have been placed along a nature trail that takes walkers through woods that the popular Milledgeville writer would have been familiar with, having mentioned them in her works and having seen them during her time on the farm.
Andalusia has also recently restored the water tower and pump house behind the main house on the property, work completed courtesy of grants and private donations.
Andalusia is located on Highway 441 across from America’s Best Value Inn.
Saturday’s Bluegrass event is sponsored by Lynda S. Banks and Mary Anne Murray, both members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
