Road to Tara Museum — Quirky Museums & Collections in Atlanta

Entry No. 28 — the Atlanta file — filed under: single-subject

Road to Tara Museum

An entire museum devoted to one 1939 movie: original costume pieces, Margaret Mitchell's personal items, a rotating poster gallery, and an international collection of "Gone with the Wind" editions in dozens of languages, housed in a restored train depot in downtown Jonesboro — the real Clayton County landscape the story was set in.

The move: Walk the depot exhibits together on a weekday morning (open Mon–Sat, 10am–4pm), take the included Hattie McDaniel Legacy Experience, then find lunch in historic downtown Jonesboro afterward.

Where: 104 North Main Street, Jonesboro, GA 30236

Hours: Added 2026-07-19 — confirm current hours before you go.
