Killing Two Mockingbirds with One Stone

The end is near, so we decided it was high time to drive to the Literary Capital of Alabama: Monroeville.
Spawning not one, but two literary greats, Nelle Harper Lee and Truman Capote, the town had been on our radar for a while.
The museum is housed in the old courthouse, whose design was the model for the courtroom setting in the film "To Kill a Mockingbird."

The museum is awesome! I mean, where else can you actually go into an old courtroom, touch everything, sit everywhere, take pictures, and have the whole room to yourself? In Monroeville on a Friday afternoon. That's where!

 Order in the Court!!

The town of Monroeville stages a theatrical version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" every year, with the local townspeople as the actors.  The photo above shows part of the set design behind the courthouse.

Where else to eat lunch after that, than Radley's Fountain Grille?! 

(Insert photo, which we forgot to take. I guess we'll have to come back.) 

Thanks for living history with me today!

Until next time,
