Mitchell modeled Tara after local plantations and antebellum establishments, particularly the Clayton County plantation on which her maternal grandmother, Annie Fitzgerald Stephens (1844-1934), the daughter of Irish immigrant Philip Fitzgerald (1798-1880) and his American wife, Eleanor Avaline "Ellen" McGhan (1818-1893), was born and raised. However, the original plantation house of the Fitzgeralds, which was known as "Rural Home," a two-story wooden structure, was not as palatial and glamorous as the one described in the novel and/or depicted in the 1939 movie Gone with the Wind.
Twelve Oaks, a neighboring plantation in the novel, is now the name of many businesses and a high school stadium in nearby Lovejoy, Georgia.
The "Gone with the Wind" Tara House found in a Georgia Barn
In the middle of a Henry County farm there sits an old Southern mansion. Near that mansion is an old concrete cow barn and that is where a piece of Hollywood history was discovered.
That house, more commonly known as Tara, is the star of one of the most famous films of all time – "Gone with the Wind".

Tara was removed in order to be reconstructed on 300 acres of forested land in Northern Georgia but that plan never came to fruition due to complications arising from copyright protections by the family of Margaret Mitchell who authored the original story.
The Tara facade remained in a storage barn in Northern Georgia until 1979 when the late Mrs. Betty Talmadge, wife of U.S. Senator and Governor of Georgia, Herman Talmadge, rescued it with the intent of restoring it to its former glory.
In 1998 the doorway was relocated and placed on exhibit at the Margaret Mitchell House Museum where it currently resides.
