The house where Margaret Mitchell penned Gone With the Wind, her Pulitzer-winning saga, is now a museum dedicated to her, the book and, of course, the epic film it spawned. The house also hosts regular literary events.
Margaret Mitchell was a feisty southern journalist when she and her husband moved into Atlanta's fashionable Peachtree Street, where she plugged away on a second-hand Remington typewriter.
Visitors take an hour-and-a-half docent-led tour of the house, detailing Mitchell's life before, during and after writing that book. The tour ends at the adjacent Gone With the Wind Movie Museum filled with memorabilia from the film.
