I had a damn great time watching live jazz bands perform. Especially my favorite singer and actress Chandra Currelley from the movie Diary of A Mad Black Woman. Yall dont know what yall missed! I had a blast! Atlanta knows how to party!!!

Awesome historic museum ! I was part of the restoration team for one room. I was amazed, enjoyed every step and the sound of the wooden floor; antiques, pictures, everything has a story to tell.

Perfect for the theme I will be decorating for! Love the old time feel! I have definitely found a gem

Wrens Nest host a variety of events on their lawn. One event in attendance was Jazz Matters. Jazz Matters was presented by Smooth Jazz 101.1 WJZA-FM and sponsored by George and Janice Andrews of Capital City Bank. The lawn is emmaculate and a could hold up to to 500 attendees. The event had various seating arrangements of formal 10-seat tables, park benches and BYOC (bring your own chair). Parking is available near the facility. Vendors were present. Three restroom stalls were available. The only night lighting was from stage, which was great if you were close. Attendees would have to bring some type of lighting apparatus for tables, etc. Duke Ellingtons presence will never evaporate in jazz and his renderings are timeless-great musicans were present. One of the event artists had mesmorized the crowd with Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass and Larry Graham.

August 16, 2019 was absolutely phenomenal I went there for a jazz concert it was so organized everyone was so friendly. You bring your own food your own beverages they provide you with the tables and chairs. You can bring your own chairs no umbrellas no tints of course if you do that people cant see the concert because of obstacles I do agree with that. My children are 35 and 37 now they grew up with me taking them to the Wrens Nest for storybook time we still have the books practically one called Uncle Remus. Thank you for a beautiful time at the Wrens Nest.I recommend if you havent gone there that you do. Look up and read the history.

Great outside event. Featuring the great artist of Atlanta and abroad. Fromnjazz to rnb, the Wrens Nest hosted one amazing event called Jazz Matters.

Yes, you are at the right spot. No, this is not somebodys random family reunion We had a wonderful time here when the West End put on one of their candle light concerts with Eric Roberson performing. Walking into the Wrens Nest back yard really does look like your going to the cook-out at the family reunion, but thats all part of the charm. There is such a homey vibe here. I felt like I found a piece of true (old) Atlanta. I will definitely be back.

We went here for the Poe Experience but instructions were unclear and we missed part of the skits because of it. Although the actors were decent the writing could have used some work and the ad-lib didnt live up to expectations. It is fun for the atmosphere but the cost was too much for what we got.

Had a great time at the Edgar Allan Poe Experience. It was well acted, well put together. Also, had a crush on the main doctor

Interesting history about Joel Chandler Harris, the writer who committed the Brer Rabbit stories to paper.Sad to see this museum struggling. They clearly need funding to catch up on their deferred maintenance.

A perfect hidden hidden gem in the West End area. Mom would take me there for story hour years ago, but now as a grown women I found Jazz Matters there. A place where friends and lovers gather for great music under the stars. A Amphitheater, bring your food, drinks and get ready to have a wonderful time.

Intimate nest in a busy city. We went to a concert and had a great time.

Has outdoor live jazz events every 3rd Friday during summer months. Bring a chairs and food for great time.

I visited the Wren’s Nest for a class I am taking. I chose to visit there as opposed to the High or some of the other more well-known places on the list, and I am so glad I did! It was very interesting to see all of the original items in the house. Carla was who gave me the tour and even though it was only me, she provided me with every detail and spent just as much time with me as she would have had it been a large group. She was so awesome and made the experience even more great! If you go, hopefully Carla will be the one to give the tour!

We went for the Christmas Carol Experience, so different than your typical visit. The show was really great, intimate, interactive and fun. Highly recommend. You walk into/through most of the lower level rooms during the performance, but I was too involved in the activities to truly notice and appreciate the architecture of the home. Beware, the parking is very limited and mostly pea gravel, so you will have some ruts, mud and puddles if it has been raining. The house is basically in the middle of retail shops, so you have to keep your eyes peeled if the street is busy or at night. We look forward to going back in the day time.

T.C. Carson Jazz Show - Great Venue to ENJOY Any Music w/ People of Like Interest ... Intimate w/ Space .. Great Rental 4 Private Events ...

Went to see Chante Moore and had a great time. It was easy parking and walking to and from the venue. Also went for movie night and it was somewhat empty but the kids had a great time. They toured the house to see the history captured in times.Highly recommend

We had s great time in the escape room. Without giving away anything, having 2 rooms and more than 7 puzzles was well worth it. Afterwards, we had time for a tour of the house.

It was good to give the family out door knowledge and indoor knowledge.

I attended an event here on the lawn which turned out nice. The museum staff were also inviting and sugguested that attendees come in for a tour.

I LOVED my experience! We had Curtis Richardson as our storyteller and he created such an amazing experience. The way he told the stories--with facial expressions and gestures-- really helped me to see each character. I especially loved how he changed his voice for them! When he voiced the water buffalo, I could visualize this immense animal, and when he did the hyena I could visualize that too. It reminded me of the Lion King! I absolutely loved that after our story we enjoyed a refreshingly informative tour. I sincerely appreciated our tour guide giving us all the wonderful details about life during the time Harris lived, as well as information regarding the houses cool furniture and architecture. I say cool because being in the same house, seeing the same furniture that existed and was used so long ago made me feel as though I had actually time traveled. The Wrens Nest is definitely a wonderful experience.

Had a great time. Bring bug spray for the jazz outside.

Exceptional Experience of listening to live jazz under the trees and stars. Bravo to The Wrens Nest!

Loved it!!! I will see it again.

Truly a Beautiful place to visit over in West End, historic site to see and learn ,have different venues to enjoy.

This place is amazing and the summer of Jazz was so wonderful. Definitely a must attend event and great location. Pack a picnic and enjoy yourself.

This was an interesting find in the historic West End neighborhood. The tour cost $5 and lasted for roughly 15 minutes. The tour is self guided with volunteers available to answer questions. It was great seeing a home built in the 1800s and seeing the home of a literary pioneer. All of the home is nit available to tour however what is available I found it to be sufficient. I would recommend this tour if you are in the area.

I went here with my siblings and we had such a great time. The story telling was amazing!! My little one was giggling and having so much fun. We came for the Smithsonian museum free museum promotion, but well definitely be back!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us!!

Very nice intimate venue. Food vendor offering take away plates at an excellent price. Outdoor venue with free parking, bring your own food, chairs, tables, coolers. Tables with chairs are available for an additional price of course. The admittance fee is quite affordable. Upscale port of Johns were clean with inside lighting and sanitizer. A very cool place to hang out. The performance was excellent. The entertainers would probably appreciate some fans blowing....this is HOTLANTA

Jazz concerts! Bruh is da bomb!!!

I went for the Saturday storytelling and house tour, and was delighted far beyond my expectations. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and unhurried. The storyteller was jawdroppingly good. The tour guide radiated with love for the building and its former occupants. I highly recommend a visit on Saturday when the storyteller is there.

Nothing like I remember it being in the 90s

Attended the 105th annual holiday party. It was a great mix of history, music, storytelling etc. You will learn so much about the history of Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle Remus tales. Much misaligned during recent years, his tales were actually quite instrumental in forging new ground in familiarizing cultures with each other in the post Civil War era. Google maps WILL NOT take you into the parking lot. Coming down Lowery into West End the driveway is immediately after the house. Basically when you see St Anthony of Paduas church on the left the house is half a block down on the left. It has a small parking area that is mostly dirt/grass. Keep this in mind in inclement weather!

Beautiful venue!!! Soul-stirring ambience!!!Wonderful crowd!!! Amazing energy!!! Love it!!!

Beautiful open space, friendly atmosphere, the music was terrific. A Great experience.

Very historical museum. The stories were very informative and interesting.

The five-star rating is definitely true. Not just as a location thats worth visiting (it is), but when you learn more about the positive community impact that are making through various programs and involvement. The relatively young, very enthusiastic staff make this place an interesting juxtaposition of history with forward-thinking ideas.

Enjoyed an evening of jazz outdoors. Music and mood were wonderful!

Had a wonderful talk and tour with the docent. Learned a lot about Joel Harris, his home, his background and what inspired his stories of Brent Rabbit and Uncle Remus. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

Omg! The Edgar Allen Poe Experience was AMAZING! They are only open 2 more days & youre crazy if you dont go!

Jazz on the lawn - excellent!

This is one of many of Atlantas old early 20th century homes. This home once belonged to Uncle Remus, author of works like The Tar Baby and Brer Rabbit. This hone is now a museum and plays host to a number of events, including a Gatsby Lawn Party (which was the purpose of my visit).

Loved the venue here for the evening outdoor concert we attended.

Definitely worth a trip to listen to the storytellers.

Beautiful place with a great history.

This place has become many things to many people. But, its a dependable location.

When we tried to go, their information was incorrect. We read on Google and their website that they were open until 3 pm that day but when we arrived a bit past 1pm, we found the place closed. We called and were told that they closed at 1 pm. Please update your information online.

The Concerts in the Parks were nice

Great music, great time!

Wonderful historic house of Joel Chandler Harris. The storyteller was hilarious!

I went there, when I was in elementary school. That was in the mid 90s. My great Grandmother use to tell me the stories of Uncle Remus, and Brer Rabbit. Its been over ten years since Ive been to The Wrens House. Id love to go back and show my daughter.

Good music great crowd comfortable environment decent price

Check it out!! Its worth the trip!!
