The Show Had A Connection With “Gone With The Wind”
Although most of the scenes from The Andy Griffith Show were filmed on the eastern part of the studio, Sheriff Andy’s house sat right next to the “Aunt Pittypat House” from the 1939 film, Gone with the Wind! Andy’s house was so close that you could see the old Atlanta train station immediately after walking out of the courthouse. Another fun fact is that the train station was featured in a ton of the show’s episodes.
