Monroeville, Alabama, tucked halfway between Mobile and Montgomery, is a community on the Gulf Coast of Mexico just off Interstate 65. The same city that served as a backdrop for hometown girl Harper Lee's 1961 Pulitzer Prize winning classic To Kill A Mockingbird, Monroeville blends an urban infrastructure with the serenity of traditional Deep South living. Monroeville visitors routinely recreate the 'Mockingbird Experience' when carefully climbing the steps to the Old Courthouse that housed the trial of Tom Robinson. A wealthy culture in the arts sits in this Monroe County community; in addition to award-winning novelist Harper Lee, Monroeville is the hometown of Creative Nonfiction Father Truman Capote and novelist Mark Childress. Monroeville, Alabama hosts the immensely popular Monroe County Heritage Museum. The Monroe County Heritage Museum consists of six tourist attractions around Monroeville Alabama; those attractions include The Old Monroe County Courthouse, Rikard's Mill Historical Park, Bethany Baptist Church, the Alabama River Museum, the River Heritage Museum, and Hybart House.
