Granite Jubilee: 90 Years of Gone with the Wind

From Jonesboro to Marietta, step into the story that shaped American literature and film. Join us for The Granite Jubilee: 90 Years of Gone with the Wind, a weekend-long tribute to the book that inspired the highest-grossing film of all time.

Step into a treasure trove of film and literary history. Our special Granite Jubilee pop-up shop will be open Friday through Sunday from 10am to 2pm, featuring duplicate items rarely made available to the public. It’s a must-see for Gone With the Wind enthusiasts, especially as we celebrate 90 years of the story born right here in Jonesboro, the novel’s original literary setting.

Join us on Sunday for a FREE and exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Road To Tara Museum, offered only during the Granite Jubilee. Go deeper than ever before as you uncover never-heard-before stories, surprising secrets, and the hidden history behind some of the museum’s most iconic and unusual artifacts.

John Wiley, renowned author and GWTW expert, will be onsite for book signings, adding even more insider insight to the day. The museum is also opening its archives and hosting a special pop-up shop featuring duplicate items rarely made available to the public, a true collector’s dream.

Meet Herb Bridges’ children, Joe Bridges, Anne Clayton, and Bill Bridges as they share personal stories and intimate memories of their father’s legendary collection. Guests can also enjoy a special meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with Joanna Griffin as Scarlett, bringing the iconic heroine to life in the heart of her literary home.

Enjoy a one-day, one-of-a-kind FREE experience that Gone With the Wind fans won’t discover anywhere else.
