Fans of classic cinema and southern history can mark their calendars for a special event at the Gone With the Wind Museum. On Saturday, April 26, the museum is hosting "A Celebration of Vivien Leigh" at Brumby Hall and Gardens, featuring a new star addition to its screen-worn costume collection. From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of Margaret Mitchell's epic tale and its impact on American culture.
Located at 472 Powder Springs Street in Marietta, GA, the event is integrated with regular museum admission—$10 for adults and discounted rates for students, seniors, and military at $7. Featuring a trivia contest with a rare prize and a raffle for a Leigh-themed basket, the museum ensures an engaging experience for devotees of the iconic film. And if one's in the mood for flowers or lasting jewelry, The Little Bouquet Co. has that covered with their on-site cart and permanent jewelry table, according to the official announcement on the City of Marietta website.
The event's highlight is the unveiling of an "ICONIC new addition" to its costume collection, an aspect that has historically attracted film buffs and fashion enthusiasts alike. The Tara exhibit will also be open to the public, adding to the day's historic ambiance. The museum's mission is to honor and share the significance of Margaret Mitchell's work on literature, film, and beyond.
Visitors can enjoy the historic gardens included in the admission, providing a backdrop authentic to the period and film. While all activities are subject to weather conditions and may change without notice, the museum promises a day filled with nostalgia and celebration for Scarlett O'Hara and the old South.
