Located in Jonesboro, Georgia, the Road To Tara Museum houses unique memorabilia, international poster and book exhibit, costume gallery, personal items of author Margaret Mitchell and expanded exhibits about Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen. The spirits of Mitchell, Clark Gable’s Rhett Butler, Vivien Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara, and a host of other Hollywood characters color the exhibits that include such treasures as Margaret Mitchell’s china; detailed and accurate reproductions of the costumes worn by Leigh, Hattie McDaniel (Mammy), Ona Munson (Belle Watling), Ann Rutherford (Careen O’Hara), and Cammie King Conlon (Bonnie Blue Butler); numerous foreign translations of the book; and many items from the personal collection of Herb Bridges, the largest private collector of Gone With The Wind memorabilia. Surrounding them are five separate oil paintings depicting movie scenes in the story’s progression—truly a sight to behold! After you’ve experienced the museum, you can take a piece of it home with you with a treasure purchased at the museum’s gift shop.
