Update October 2017: I just visited the memorial to Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald at the location of the former Highland Sanitarium (75 Zillicoa St. Asheville, NC) where she perished in a tragic fire the night before she was to return to her mother's home in Montgomery. I found the gorgeous Montford neighborhood and memorial to be an excellent extension to the Montgomery house and museum. You may consider it in your travels! (See photos attached)
Gorgeous 1910 home in a stunning, historic Montgomery neighborhood. The displays and artifacts are personal, delightful, and insightful. Zelda Sayre was a tragically untapped mind and a fascinating figure. I highly recommend a visit and i can't wait till they begin listing the upstairs apartment on airbnb. I'll certainly be back!
Admission is free but the museum runs on donations. They accept debit and credit cards along with cash.
So Scott and Zelda only lived here for a month... had I known that I wouldn't have even come out to this museum. Alas, when we arrived there was a sign on the door stating that the museum would be closed for an hour (the place was only open for 4 hours...) and even after that hour was up no one opened the door for us. We saw the crappy garden out back, the placard was rather funny as Zelda's quote implied that she didn't like Alabama but was content until she was able to move somewhere more interesting.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Fitzgerald Museum and House. Miss Powell (The Museum and House's Executive Director) greeted every guest and chatted with them about the house and Fitzgeralds as well, despite being busy with preparations for Zelda Fitzgerald Day (25 July 2017). For its age the house is in rather good condition, any repairs have kept in line with the time period of the house. The museum holds many family photos, letters, news clippings and personal works of art by Zelda along with telling the story of Scott and Zelda. It was a very well laid out and informative look into the Fitzgerald's personal lives. The museum runs on donations, they do accept debit and credit cards as ways to give donations. If you find yourself in Montgomery with time to spare, the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum and House is well worth the time.
The curator was also very helpful and courteous ...a must see for literary folks!!!
It was a great trip. The museum was filled with very interesting and personal items which really inform visitors of their lives.
Had a nice tour of the home. Very good information about the life of the Fitzgeralds.
