SAVANNAH, GA, USA OCTOBER 12: The Mercer House on October 12, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The Mercer House features in the novel "Midnight in the garden of good and evil".

Although Jim Williams, the Savannah art dealer portrayed by Kevin Spacey in the film version of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, died back in 1990, his infamous mansion didn't become a museum until 2004. You're not allowed to visit the upstairs, where Williams' family still lives, but the downstairs is an interior decorator's fantasy.
