Historical marker location:

Tybee Island, Georgia

( Marker can be reached from Fort Pulaski Road, 1 mile north of Old Tybee Road (U.S. 80), on the right when traveling north.)

The state of Georgia was once home to a thriving film industry, with Hollywood studios establishing themselves in Atlanta in the early 20th century. However, the industry largely moved to California after the introduction of sound in films made outdoor filming difficult due to the noise pollution of the city.
