F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum, Literary museum in Montgomery, United States
Description
The F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum is a two-story house where the writer and his wife lived and worked on their novels from 1931 to 1932. The building holds original manuscripts, letters, and personal belongings that document their life together and individual literary careers.
History
The house on Felder Avenue was the couple's final shared home from 1931 to 1932, after which their lives took different paths. The building faced demolition in 1986 until a local businessman purchased and preserved it, transforming it into a museum.
Culture
The museum displays personal items and photographs from the Fitzgeralds' lives that give visitors a sense of their daily world. The rooms feel like a window into how they actually lived and worked together during their time here.
Practical
The visit can be completed in under two hours since the house is modest in size and easy to navigate throughout. It helps to check opening times in advance, as schedules may vary depending on the season.

The museum offers overnight stays in Airbnb suites, allowing visitors to sleep in the same building where the Fitzgeralds lived. This opportunity lets guests experience the space from a personal perspective they would not otherwise have.
