Antebellum AtlantaAtlanta has a long and colorful past and an indomitable spirit that is present still today. It is a city with the steely resolve to rise like a phoenix from the flames, dust off the ashes, and prosper once again. Nothing had an impact on Atlanta like the American Civil War of 1861 or the 1934 Pulitzer Prize winning novel that recounted that war, Margaret Mitchell's ""Gone with the Wind" and the subsequent 1939 Oscar winning film of the same name. That being said, what could provide a more quintessential insight into Atlanta than a "Gone with the Wind" tour? Start your journey into Mitchell's recount of Civil War Atlanta by boarding an Atlanta charter bus and heading to the place of its conception and birth, 990 Peachtree St. There you will find the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum and the small, cramped, apartment #1, where a convalescing Mitchell began her epic tomb by typing the last chapter first. Already on Peachtree St., where there is plethora of eateries to choose from, take a lunch break at Max Lager's American Grill & Brewery or any of the wonderful restaurants available. Renowned for their knowledge of Atlanta's best spots, a good recommendation for great food can be gained from your Atlanta charter bus driver. Climb back aboard the bus for the short ride to Jonesboro, Georgia, in Clayton County, the home of Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara, and her beloved Tara. A ride through historic, small town, Jonesboro will take you past the Warren House, built in 1859 and converted to a Confederate Hospital and Union headquarters during the battle of Jonesboro. |
