St Marlo Country Club

Satisfy your need for speed with a visit to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. This southern speedway is host to NASCAR's famous Sprint Cup race, held every year on Labor Day weekend. If you're not one to watch laps and laps of a NASCAR race, the track hosts "Friday Night Drags" from spring until fall. The cars competing in the drag races hit top speeds, flying down a 1/8 mile stretch.

Fans of literature and classic film will enjoy a visit to the Margaret Mitchell House. Mitchell was the writer of one of the most cherished stories of her time, Gone With the Wind, which was later adapted to film starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. Exhibits at the house museum include Margaret Mitchell: A Passion for Character and The Making of a Film Legend: Gone With the Wind.
