Along with many other “Gone With the Wind” attractions in Georgia, Atlanta is adding another to the list. Margaret Mitchell, portrayed by Sally Smith, shares the story of her life on a 3-hour coach tour through her Atlanta. She will tell many obscure stories about her life and how the novel that defined an era came to be. The tour includes: The Margaret Mitchell House, where “Gone With the Wind” was written, and also houses her typewriter, first drafts of the book, and her Pulitzer Prize. The vouchers for this tour will also allow entry to the Road to Tara Museum in Jonesboro, the Marietta Gone With The Wind Museum, and re-entry to The Margaret Mitchell House at no extra charge.
