A SOUTHERN TASTE OF TARA

Relive the "Golden Days" of grace, grandeur and the romance of the antebellum South as it lives on at Tara. Your motorcoach travels north through lovely farmlands to Tara in Clark, Pennsylvania, where uncommon excellence and hospitality are still a way of life. At Tara, you'll find the glorious days of the Old South still alive. As you enter Tara for a guided tour, you'll feel you entered the movie set of "Gone with the Wind," where excellence is the style of life. Following your tour, you'll sit down to good old-fashioned Southern cooking served family-style complete with real mashed potatoes and homemade Southern dessert.
