FREE ADMISSION TO UNCLE REMUS MUSEUM July 3rd!
Eatonton's Uncle Remus Museum will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of our Declaration of Independence by offering free admission and storytelling on Friday, July 3, 2026.
The museum will open at 10:00 AM with storytelling at 11:00AM and 2:00PM.
Located at 214 South Oak Street (441 South) in Eatonton, the museum opened in 1963 to preserve the "Tales of Uncle Remus" which were recorded in print by native son Joel Chandler Harris.
Since opening, the museum has broadened its scope by adding the Ezell Room with an interpretation of early life in Putnam County and the "J.A. Turner Office and Library" which is a presentation of Turner's influence on young Joel Chandler Harris.
If you've never visited the museum, this is an excellent opportunity to see this historic site and its collection of "Uncle Remus" memorabilia. If you visited in the past, here's your chance to catch up on recent enhancements to the museum's collection.
The Uncle Remus Museum is a 501(c) (3) organization. It is supported by admission charges, souvenir sales and contributions from the public. For more information and hours of operation visit www.uncleremusmuseum.org or contact the museum at (706) 485-6856.
