I think if the author of Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell - were alive today she would be shaking her head in disappointment. She wanted to portray Clayton County, Georgia during the Civil War years in a realistic manner. That part of Georgia was really something of a backwater, and the neighboring plantation called Twelve Oaks was the only house that had some columns in the front. The movie and other later revisionists made up a much grander and more romantic vision. Tara was really no more than a brick farm house with a porch ... it was loosely based on Mitchell's Fitzgerald grandmother's farm near Jonesboro, called "Rural Home."
The greatest misconception about the Old South is that everyone lived in a house like this and that everyone owned slaves! The same 1% of the super rich lived that lifestyle. SAME as today.
Até parece que o meu coração ❤️ vai sair pela a minha boca 👄 de tão linda que eu acho, eu amo todas mais está musica francesa GONE WITH THE WIND do Richard Clayderman que me marcou todas são lindas e eu gosto de todas mais esta é a minha preferida em primeiro lugar
Gorgeous home. The owner must have all the surrounding acreage because you can't see any other homes when you bring the drone footage up. Just amazing and beautiful to see all the trees in the distance.
Tara omg GWTW I’m gonna find you oh that red dirt of Tara is where I get my Strength I love every grain of dirt. I love the story the 1938 or 1939 version no other for me Rhett An Scarlett and that whining Ashley and that sweet Melanie, and Mammy without her the whole place would have fallen down! I loved that show turned my 21 year old granddaughter into a GWTW addict too. Thanks I enjoyed that Beautiful!
Nope, they did not shoot GWTW at this location. The actual house was a set in California, and YES, that was for the outside, as well as the inside. It was a back lot prop with pulverized brick for the red earth. Most of it is gone, but they kept the door. I think it's in a museum in Atlanta.
What about the rear side of the house?..the details up close..the video looks incomplete..what a shame!..the property is a beauty but Tara it aint..but this captures the antebellum charm of the southern plantation estate life..just wished the videographer did a better job at presenting it..
Hi, Angela...I think I just watched that same video you referenced that says the house was in Culver City, CA...but when I saw that other video, it looked too large...too long in front to be the same house that was in Gone with the Wind. This one in this video actually looks more like the real deal.
I think it was titled "Gone With the Wind" for the simple reasons that 1) the use of Tara's theme from GWTW and 2) this is the architecture that most people think of when GWTW is mentioned. I don't think that it meant to mislead. Would love to see the inside however!!!
Actually, I think that it was named after the line written right after the Yankees invaded and Sherman's march to the sea, " Or was Tara also gone with the wind that had swept through Georgia?" I don't know if that's a word for word quote but hopefully people will get the picture!✝️⚜️
Very intelligent of you, John. The first plantation home that I saw in the south was in North Carolina. It's main crop was rice and it was near the river. Orton Plantation. It seemed smaller than this one and when I was inside it really was tiny. My parents living room was larger! The facade of the south in general is not true. My cousin would love to live during that time. I never told her about the true south. First on my list was the mosquito's all over the place. Then it was the heat during the summers. I once asked a southerner what it was like before air conditioning in the south. Her reply was "We lived for the evenings" Wow, that's bad. I do not know why they did not shift their hours to match the coolness of the evening. If they were to open at four in the afternoon and stay open until nine in the evening...yet it was those horrid mosquito's.
Sorry to disappoint everybody. There never was a Tara built on the studio lot. But there was a facade of Twelve Oaks primarily used during the filming of the picnic at the beginning of the movie. To satisfy Movie buffs, there is a plantation in South Carolina where it is rumored that some filming was done. The name is Boone Hall Plantation In Charleston, S.C. It has the last actual slave street still in tact.
The avenue of trees leading to Twelve Oaks was the one at Boone Hall, but the house itself was a painting on glass. If you watch carefully enough when the carriages are arriving for the barbecue you see them driving over the trees' shadows instead of real shadows falling on the carriages.
This is falsely titled. Wherever this house is, it has nothing to do with filming locations for Gone With The Wind. The exteriors of Tara were a false facade set only, built on the backlot of Selznick Studios in Culver City.
Their was tara. Its a small house but it was a part of gone with the wind. I lived in south of atlanta GA. It all took place in love joy and hampton ga south of Atlanta ga. Im 73 and i do know some stories.
@@helenboula7488 That house was Margaret Mitchell's grandfather's house. It was a two story wood frame farm house called, "Home Place". It was torn down before 1939, when the movie was shot in Hollywood.
You know if he wanted to stay there and do a bed-and-breakfast you can. price a little expensive but you can stay there for the night for two if you can afford it
The original house used iin the film is in Covington, Georgia, close to Atlanta.The estate is called "The Twelve Oaks". It can be visited. Go to www.thetwelveoaks.com .
Cry if you like but don't be blind- USA is racist and not only in the South- They killed AA till now- GWTW is a true story by a southener. North people treated horrible the AA people.
@@gwtwvivien racism has existed since the first man walked this earth and perhaps even beyond that, it is a genetic signature that can not be shed, no more than we can shed our own skin. Accusing anyone of racism, is pointless and ignorant, to say the least. We cannot remove our racism, but we CAN remove the hate and maybe, we can replace it with respect.
Rick, where is this? When I was a little girl, my mom took my grandmother, my brother, cousin and I on a vacation to Florida from Texas. Somewhere along the way we stopped at what my mom said was 'where they filmed a lot of GWTW.' I remember an inner spiral staircase, and huge trees! LOL Oh, and a brick-floored kitchen. It was being restored. I don't know where it was, I was too young. But I remember how beautiful it looked coming up the drive!
There is a mansion in Sunset, LA near Lafayette that had the Tara staircase. I can't remember where the Twelve Oaks staircase was...South Carolina, maybe.
Unfortunately, you were travelling in the wrong direction. GWTW was filmed in California (both interior and exterior shots). The barbecue scene was shot at Busch Gardens, Pasadena, which was rented for a few days for that purpose. However, the old watermill - which still exists - seen during the opening titles, can be found at North Little Rock, Arkansas.
Where does it say that the mansion in the video is Tara? There was no narration in the video saying this is Tara from the movie Gone with the Wind. There is no description saying it is also.
Hmmm, not sure what I'm looking at. Is this a replica of Tara, is it similar to Tara - I know it's missing the wing sections of the real Tara set. A bit of voice-over would have been nice.
It's not a replica of Tara. It doesn't look a thing like Tara. The porch columns on Tara are square brick painted white. And Tara has a one story kitchen wing on one side and another one story wing on the other side.
I'm lived between love joy and Hampton ga outside of Riverdale ga and this is not the home in gone with the wind and Tara is small home.dont lie to the people.iys bs.
My favorite book and movie‼️ One has to read the book…more of what really happened.❤️❤️
Is that the real house of the movie?
Spectacular view by drone! Magnificent! Gone With The Wind was one of the greatest films of all time!
This house was nothing like the house in GWTW
It is just gorgeous architecture. I love Gone with the Wind. Classics.
This is what I call magnificent.
Beautiful home
The avenue of cedars
Beautiful home and location! Great book and movie! Lovely video!

La mejor película y la mejor música de todos los Tiempos ,😹😹

Conveniently, no one knows it was the Democrats that owned the slaves and Republicans that worked to free them.
As a Southerner, thank you for pointing out that fact. The Northern army destroyed the South and left it in ruins.
Total b.s
@@sharontheobald9478 yeah right he pointed out nothing
My ancestors had slaves and treated them just like family.
I love the fact that the road is a simple gravel drive and primitive around the very finished and elegant house.
Too many would blacktop.
My goodness, what a gorgeous estate and house!!
Definitely my dream house!!☺️✝️⚜️
Thank u so much for doing this , Gone with is my favorite movie
Até parece que o meu coração ❤️ vai sair pela a minha boca 👄 de tão linda que eu acho, eu amo todas mais está musica francesa GONE WITH THE WIND do Richard Clayderman que me marcou todas são lindas e eu gosto de todas mais esta é a minha preferida em primeiro lugar
The approach made me cry!
Drones are amazing! They take filming to an extraordinary level !
Remember when we were kids and had to help our parents with the dusting and silver-polishing inside, and the painting and lawn maintenance outside?
Gorgeous home. The owner must have all the surrounding acreage because you can't see any other homes when you bring the drone footage up. Just amazing and beautiful to see all the trees in the distance.
Dawn Lamb-Wagner - just needs an entry driveway.
Very beautiful ❤️
beautiful
Oh but to be that rich...and still have a kind and good heart...
Magnificent

The actual GWTW house was mismantled and found in pieces in a Georgia garage. There is a book about it and a youtube video on it.
Sorta kinda looks like Tara but this house is much grander. Wish you had flown around the entire house. Wondering if the columns are in the back too.
What about the rear side of the house?..the details up close..the video looks incomplete..what a shame!..the property is a beauty but Tara it aint..but this captures the antebellum charm of the southern plantation estate life..just wished the videographer did a better job at presenting it..
It looks like Twelve Oaks where the Hamilton's lived.
@@maryinsentani6801 The Wilkes lived there. The Hamilton's were their cousins.
Gorgeous.
Dr. Caldwell Id give up driving on the freeway
Tara was actually Selznick studios offices.
I just watched a video where we are shown the studio where gone with the wind was filmed, in culver city, California!
That was the interior shots.
Angela Hartley j
The exterior was done on the backlot. The interior in a studio. The house was fake just like the majority of the storyline. Great movie though.
Hi, Angela...I think I just watched that same video you referenced that says the house was in Culver City, CA...but when I saw that other video, it looked too large...too long in front to be the same house that was in Gone with the Wind.

@@saiyongdawn7756 Twelve Oaks was, too!!
The party guests driving up drive were superimposed on the film image, making it look like it was real.✝️⚜️
This is Boone Hall Plantation where they say some of the exterior filming was done
This is not Boone Hall.
someone got a new drone.
What a beautiful plantation house
LOVE THAT SONG

Looks more as the plantation house of the tv series North and South by John Jakes. The Main familys plantation. tsh
The exteriors of the Main plantation in “North and South” were filmed at Boone Hall near Charleston, South Carolina.
You know if he wanted to stay there and do a bed-and-breakfast you can. price a little expensive but you can stay there for the night for two if you can afford it

Very Good!.. 118 🐄🦉✝
Anyone know where this house is located? We need much more information about this house and property.

Could we go inside?
Looks like a lot of old southern wealthy homes….
oh, the memories of all those slaves maintaining this plantation, just brings tears to my eyes, so wonderful

@ The vape keeping you from reading a simple truth?
@@gwtwvivien all of these so called historic plantations should be burn to the ground, and the land handed over to the families that slaved on them
For that matter ALL USA should be burned to the ground as it has the most racist people.

It is beautiful appearance on the property and the mansion, however not great for our Alaskan winters.
Wrong! The Gone With the Wind mansion had rectangular columns, not round.
Where does it say that the mansion in the video is Tara? There was no narration in the video saying this is Tara from the movie Gone with the Wind. There is no description saying it is also.
Exactly. However, this does look like the LaMotte Plantation in the Mini series "North And South"..
This isn’t the right place nor house that filmed....location was in California.....it’s listed culver studios.
That house is in Greenville, Louisana. toured it way back when.
D. Paul Gladstone
Tara had square brick columns. Twelve Oaks had round fluted columns.
Why in the world wouldn't you fly the drone completely around the house. Weird....
Add a description to tell us what we’re looking at🤷🏼♀️
What a simple video.....and that’s not a compliment...🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Wonderful compliment!
Googled Tara and Twelve Oaks...What planet is Rick on?
Hmmm, not sure what I'm looking at. Is this a replica of Tara, is it similar to Tara - I know it's missing the wing sections of the real Tara set. A bit of voice-over would have been nice.
It's not a replica of Tara. It doesn't look a thing like Tara. The porch columns on Tara are square brick painted white. And Tara has a one story kitchen wing on one side and another one story wing on the other side.
It's similar to Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana.
Plant some carrots in case the north invades again

Twelve oaks??
Its definitely Twelve Oaks. You could just walk up to that doorstep and feel like Scarlett O’Hara being greeted by all the men.
I have watched Gone with the Wind many times over and over, and this dose not look like TARA
It's not Tara. The title is misleading.
Come Home To TARA ------------------ Always -----------------
Are we going to see the inside?
I wonder if this type of music played when the slaves were walking to the big house?
I'm lived between love joy and Hampton ga outside of Riverdale ga and this is not the home in gone with the wind and Tara is small home.dont lie to the people.iys bs.
I'm glad I skipped ahead...you don't get to see the interior!
If your saying this is tara you sre telling a lie. Im from atlanta ga love joy and hampton to be exact. This is a damn lie.
Oh honey, calm yourself! You are putting yourself in the decline!
What a waistt of time
NOT
Boring!!
