Montgomery is the capital city of the US state of Alabama & it is here that Jefferson Davis took the oath & went on to become the “President” of the “Confederate States of America”. Today the city of Montgomery is recognized for its world class cultural amenities in the form of well-preserved historical buildings, age-old museums, challenging golf trails, an array of natural & artificial attractions & several significant sports & cultural events.

This is the only museum in the world dedicated to Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, located in the bottom floor of a house in Montgomery, where the couple lived for less than a year in the winter of 1931-32. Since the South does love its literary tradition, you see furniture from Zelda's childhood home in Montgomery and the couple's photographs and letters. Although their time in this house was brief, its literary significance is great. It was here that Scott worked on Tender Is the Night and Zelda began her only published novel, Save Me the Waltz. This is a unique museum offering 25 minute video, photos, articles, partial manuscripts and Scott's books in many languages. Also featured are some Sayre (Zelda’s family) memorabilia, portraits of Scott & Zelda, and Zelda’s famous paintings. One will experience the most lyrical moments while reading Zelda’s love letters to Scott. The museum is especially appealing to lovers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary works.
Fitzgerald Museum
Also known as First Confederate Capitol the structure is located on Goat Hill in Montgomery. The first Capitol building of 1847 got destroyed by fire in 1849. The current State Capitol was built on the previous Capitol's foundations to be completed in 1851. The building has grown over time with an east wing added to the buildings rear in 1885, a south wing in 1906 and a matching north wing in 1912. A complete renovation of the entire building was done in 1992. The building is in the Greek Revival style and is known for its distinctive spiral staircase. The rotunda is decorated with painted murals depicting Alabama's history. The areas opened to tourists include the entry foyer with twin opposing stairwells, old Governors Office, old State Supreme Court and old Supreme Court Library, Rotunda, old House of Representatives and old Senate Chamber. The building and grounds are maintained by Alabama Historical Commission.
