Georgia Film and Television Museums

Georgia is filled with movie-related attractions. Some appeared on screen, some inspired a scene and some draw you a little closer to your favorite characters. If you're an entertainment addict, here are a few Georgia film attractions to check out.

Margaret Mitchell House, Atlanta

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated by the Atlanta History Center, the Margaret Mitchell House is a turn-of-the century, three-story Tudor Revival building where Margaret Mitchell lived and wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Gone With the Wind,” which was adapted into the eponymous Academy Award-winning film. Guided tours of the Margaret Mitchell House are offered daily and include visits to the room that re-creates her Crescent Avenue apartment, which she affectionately nicknamed “The Dump,” and to exhibitions about her life and the movie version of her book.

Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Tours begin every half hour starting at 10:30 a.m. Sunday: Noon–5:30 p.m. Tours begin every half hour starting at 12:30 p.m.

Fox Theatre, Atlanta

The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta’s premier venues for live entertainment. The Fox’s 4,678-seat theatre is booked for more than 300 performances a year, ranging from Broadway to rock to comedy to movies. Though not the site of the "Gone With the Wind" movie premiere, it stands directly across Peachtree Street from The Georgian Terrace hotel, site of the 1939 "Gone With the Wind" gala attended by the film's stars after the screening.

Regularly scheduled tours take place on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tour rates: $15 for military and seniors, $18 for adults and $5 for children 10 and under.

Road to Tara Museum, Jonesboro

Civil War buff or lover of history, you will find something to enjoy at the Road to Tara Museum, located in Jonesboro’s 1867 Historic Train Depot. Nowhere can the impact of Margaret Mitchell’s literary tribute to her ancestral home — and the classic 1939 film based on it — be felt more deeply than in this museum.

Monday-Friday: 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is $7 adults, $6 seniors and children. The Southern Belles & Whistles Tour and Gone With The Wind Tour also depart from the depot.
