The Great Gatsby is considered one of the most essential works of American literature. Its author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was an equally interesting figure who made his home in Montgomery. Get a detailed look at his life and work when you visit the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum. This structure was once rented by the famous author and his wife in the early thirties. The home's historical significance is augmented by a highly detailed restoration that includes various items that once belonged to the Fitzgeralds.

While beauty may be in the eyes of the beholder, there is plenty to behold every January when Montgomery is the host city for the Miss Alabama and Miss Alabama Teen USA Pageants. This event is part of the Miss Universe Organization and features contestants between the ages of 14 and 26. These young women participate in interview, swimsuit and evening gown competitions. The top prizes include thousands of dollars in scholarships as well as the privilege to travel the state promoting the pageant.
