We live in Falkner territory - William Falkner, that is! And in this episode, Melinda speaks with Stephen Bennett, the Innkeeper of The Falkner Inn located in New Albany. This short-stay inn sits on the birth site of author William Faulkner in the heart of the Cultural and Historical District of New Albany’s historic North Side. The inn has four bedrooms, two upstairs and two downstairs with a full bath on the hall on each floor. A common area with den, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room is also available as well as relaxing areas outside. The William Faulkner Literary Garden and Union County Heritage Museum are located on the same property. Within walking distance or a short car ride, visitors will find New Albany’s downtown area along with the Tanglefoot Trail, unique boutique shops, and a variety of restaurants. The inn is very inexpensive and makes a great gift - especially for anyone who loves Southern hospitality, history, and all things William Falkner. Stephen Bennett believes it is the perfect getaway for the family, a girls’ night out, or to stay when attending ballgames in Oxford, Mississippi. For more information or to make reservations at the inn, contact host Stephen Bennett (601-415-7283) or contact the Museum at 662-538-0014.
