Rowan Oak

Just a lovely place and omg the trees are so beautiful.. after closing hours a lot of photographers and their subjects come here to take pictures, but there are plenty of places to lay down a blanket and relax without being in any bodies way. Never been during open hours.

Great place to visit even if you're not into literature. Lots of history and antiques. Quite and peaceful setting with beautiful views. There is an easy hiking trail you can take from campus to here.

Beautiful Landscaping...Only 5$ to tour the home but free to tour grounds. Great location for outdoor wedding or other event.

Illuminating peek at Faulkner's life. Tour was self-guided, but still informative. Student representative was pleasant and helpful, and the entrance fee was modest (they accept cash only!). While several of the rooms seemed like standard "this is what an old house looked like" fare, there were enough placards and informational displays about the author's life to make it relatable. Of the house itself: The author's personality is still evident in his home. Of note were the sparseness of his daughter's room to the literal writing on the walls in his study and telephone nook. (Perception of these areas varied widely within our group: did the study graffiti reflect a carefree spirit who didn't care about appearances or materials, or a somewhat callous soul who lived like he knew—and didn't care— that someone would have to clean up after him?)

Nice place to know about William Faulkner. The entry is free for Olemiss student. A must visit place when you are in Oxford.
