Looking for a bit of nostalgia wrapped in some Southern charm? You might want to head over to Marietta this weekend. The Gone With the Wind Museum at Brumby Hall and Gardens is throwing open its doors for "Children's Day at the Museum" on Saturday, February 22, where, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, families can enjoy an array of activities meant to whisk them back in time.

In an effort to capture the essence of the Depression Era, the event will feature arts and crafts that are not only fun but educational. There's also a book signing by local author Emily Matheis, who'll be eager to put her signature on your copy of her latest work. Admission to the Historic Gardens is gratis, as if the Tara exhibit being on display wasn't enough to get you there. With the kids getting in for free if they're under ten, it's an affordable outing for the whole family. The adults and other concessions are set at regular museum prices, with details listed on Marietta's official website.

This event is a prime example of the museum's ongoing dedication to preserving and sharing the cultural and historical impact of Margaret Mitchell's work, a point of interest for fans of literature, film, and American history alike. They stand firm in their mission to share the significance of the "Gone With the Wind" phenomenon with new generations.

If you're planning on capturing some of this Southern splendor yourself, head over to 472 Powder Springs Street in Marietta, GA. Just make sure to plan accordingly; the museum requires regular admission for adults ($10) and offers discounted rates for students, seniors, and military members at $7.
