Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to share the experience I had visiting a museum for the first time. I believe it was a great event and feel every person should go to one in their life. During my visit I learned about the author of the classical novel, about the many artifacts on display, and about different characters, and their achievements. After you read this paper, I hope you will be inspired to see why people enjoy visiting museums. My trip reminded me of a person reading a good book. You don’t want to put it down until you know how it is going to end.
Clearly identify the event location. Date attended. The attendees and your initial reaction upon arriving at the event. I attended the Marietta Gone With The Wind Museum on March 8, 2014. It is located at 18 Whitlock Avenue, Marietta, GA 30064. When my daughter and I entered the museum, it felt like we were walking into a scene in the film. The movie was playing on a television and a nice lady was sitting in a chair, welcoming the visitors as they came in.
When I approached the counter to pay for our tickets, there was a gentleman there to accept our payments for the tickets. He gave us the student discount rate and provided me with a brief overview of the event. The building was built in 1875. It was converted from a cotton warehouse and carriage stable into a museum. The Marietta Gone With The Wind Museum was established in 2002 and is managed by the city. It is the home of Dr. Christopher Sullivan’s personal collection of memorabilia. He started collecting relics after he read the novel and saw the film as a young child. After listening to the synopsis, I was given a pamphlet and advised; it was a self-guided tour.
As I began my journey down the mini ramp, I spotted four famous dresses to my right that were worn by Scarlett O’Hara in the novel
