The Old Courthouse Museum

The Old Courthouse Museum serves as an important link between the county's colorful past and the events of today. Located in the Old Monroe County Courthouse on the Monroeville town square, the museum provides a variety of events and activities to attract people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the year.

Monroeville is best known as the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Harper Lee and her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Each year, in May, a production of "To Kill A Mockingbird" is presented at the Old Courthouse Museum by a local amateur group, the Mockingbird Players.

The museum houses 3 permanent exhibits: Celebrating 100 Years: Old Monroe County Courthouse, Truman Capote’s: A Childhood in Monroeville , and Harper Lee.
