Overview of your Atlanta tour

The tour stops first at the "The Gone With The Wind Museum": The museum boasts items from the famous movie and book. Artifacts from the Civil War, and Gen. Sherman's 1864 Atlanta Campaign along with Margaret Mitchell's and Hollywood's version of Gone With the Wind. Walking into the 1867 Historic Train Depot in Jonesboro, which houses the Road to Tara Museum, there's an authentic "Sherman's necktie, " a section of rail twisted into a loop so it became useless and a hand-painted diorama of the two-day battle of Jonesboro. The next stop, The Margaret Mitchell Home: She started writing the novel here in 1926 and finished in 1929. She made no effort to publish her book until the spring of 1935 when an executive, Harold Latham from McMillian publishing company, came to Atlanta looking for new writing talent. The last stop at Oakland Cemetery at Margaret Mitchell's grave-site. We will drive by Grady Memorial Hospital where Mitchell laid in a coma for 5 days before passing away on August 16, 1949 at the age of 48.
