Are you interested in ‘movie magic’…How did they film the scene for the Burning of Atlanta?  Does Tara really exist?  What famous actors and actresses screen-tested for lead parts?  What were the forces in place that made this epic film produced in 1939 still popular today?  These and many other questions are answered in the 50th anniversary film, narrated by Christopher Plumber. Tour the exhibit before or after the film and shop the Museum Gift Shop for Gone with the Wind items at a 10 percent discount—today only!  The movie is free however donations are appreciated.
