Margaret Mitchell Square

Margaret Mitchell is perhaps one of the most well known American Women Authors, given the popularity of her book Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind was based on the Civil War, a heart wrenching story of love, selfishness, and little understanding. The book was written in Atlanta, Georgia where Margaret Mitchell lived and worked as a reporter.

Margaret Mitchell Square is a landmark square and point of interest for visitors and residents. The square is located on Peachtree Street and Forsyth Street Northwest in Atlanta, Georgia. The square itself is not much other than offering a place to sit, enjoy the sun, and see a plaque with the history of Margaret Mitchell. Nearby the square there is the Georgia Pacific Building and Loew's Theater. Loew's Theater is where Gone with the Wind premiered in 1939, just three years after the book was published. Also nearby is the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum.

There is a plaque at the square with "Margaret Mitchell Square" etched into the stone. There is also a monument with Margaret Mitchell as the sculpted feature. There are also other monuments to Margaret Mitchell. In the square is a rather large stone structure for a place to get out of the rain.
