Welcome to William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak

Rowan Oak was William Faulkner’s private world, in reality and imagination, and served as inspiration for much of his work for more than 40 years. The modified Greek Revival home sits on 33 acres just south of the historic Oxford Square and is open to the public year-round.
