Literary trail shows southern writers' homes
Eudora Welty, novelist and short-story writer, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1973 for "The Optimist's Daughter." She lived in this Tudor revival home in Jackson, Miss., from 1925 until her death in 2001. It contains thousands of Welty's books and remains intact as it was in 1986 when she bequeathed it to the state of Mississippi. Jackson Convention & Visitors Bureau
