Beaufort, South Carolina. This is known as The Rhett House. The succession papers that started the Civil War were signed in the basement of this house. The Rhett Family was the richest family in the South, and the Butler Family was the richest family in the North. Supposedly, that's where Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind got his name.

Margaret Mitchell. Best known for writing the American classic Gone With the Wind. The novel was an instant success, selling more than a million copies in the first six months. Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize for her wildly popular novel. Mitchell changed history when she wrote arguably the best romantic novel of all time. Not only did the story capture the hearts of millions of readers worldwide, but Mitchell's masterful use of symbolism and treatment of archetypes made it truly original.

In 1959, as he watched the Tara set being dismantled, Gone With the Wind producer David O. Selznick solemnly observed that “Nothing in Hollywood is permanent. Once photographed, life here is ended.
