Item Description
Four admissions to Gone with the Wind Museum in Marietta, Georgia and the book "Scarlett and Me".
The Marietta Gone with the Wind Museum:
You will be transported back in time as you walk up the drive to your destination. There, nestled in the City of Marietta, is historic Brumby Hall. Built in 1851, the historic dwelling is also the home of the Marietta Gone with the Wind Museum. The museum has been a mainstay in Marietta since 2003, when it opened in the historic Old Thomas Warehouse building on the Marietta Square. In 2018 it moved to its current location at Brumby Hall and Gardens. With an extensive collection of memorabilia relating to the book and movie, you do not have to be a die-hard fan of Gone with the Wind to enjoy the vast history surrounding one of the world's most beloved books and movies. The book has never left bookshelves since 1936, and the film is the number one box-office movie of all time (when allowing for inflation).
This exclusive exhibit is owned by Vicky Lynn Rogers who has been collecting these items for over 30 years. Mrs. Rogers also owns and operates the Gone with the Wind Remembered Museum in Cleburne, Texas. This collection features several original pieces as well as items that are extremely rare including one of the most iconic costume pieces from the movie, the mourning bonnet worn by Scarlett O’Hara, played by Vivien Leigh. Additionally, there are one-of-a-kind pieces including, the Bengaline Honeymoon gown, Bonnie Blue’s riding outfit and Rhett Butler’s jacket. The collection also includes an original Dan Sayre Groesbeck painting which hung in the Loews Grand lobby during the premiere of Gone with the Wind on December 15, 1939. This museum is also home to six of the original Walter Plunkett costume sketches.
Before departing, visitors may wish to take home a unique remembrance of their visit from our gift shop. The museum is often mentioned as one of the must-see stops for tourists wanting to explore the South's rich beauty and history. As an added pleasure, guests may stroll through the beautiful gardens that surround Brumby Hall or stop by the Carriage House, where pieces of the film facade of Tara are on display. You're sure to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Conveniently located a mile from the historic Marietta Square.

Also included: "Scarlett and Me" --the personal and dramatic story of how Anne Edwards’ life and work became enmeshed with that of Scarlett O’Hara, Margaret Mitchell, and a sequel to Gone with the Wind. It reveals for the first time the back story of how it came to be and includes details of what that sequel might have been had it not been caught up in a long, complex, legal battle among the Mitchell estate, the studios, and the producers who had contracted Edwards to write it.
