Margaret Mitchell House & Museum
Margaret Mitchell House & Museum, Historical house in Midtown Atlanta, United States.
Margaret Mitchell House & Museum is a residential building from 1899 in Midtown Atlanta where the author lived from 1925 to 1932. The rooms display personal possessions, original furniture, and exhibits about how her novel came to life.
The building was constructed in 1899 and converted into apartments in 1919, when the noted author later made it her home. She completed her most celebrated work while living in these rooms.
Margaret Mitchell was a writer who lived and worked here, shaping her story far from public attention. The house holds traces of how she spent her days during the years she developed her most famous creation.
The museum offers guided tours through the living quarters and information about Atlanta's printing history. Tours flow naturally through the rooms and are suitable for visitors with varied interests.
The building caught fire three times between 1994 and 1996, leading to a major restoration project afterward. This unlikely disaster turned its recovery into a remarkable undertaking.
