Monroeville and Monroe County are known worldwide for our literary impact and tradition as “The Literary Capital of Alabama” and hometown of “To Kill a Mockingbird” author Harper Lee, Truman Capote, and many other celebrated, award-winning writers. This heritage has made Monroeville a draw for visitors, who make their way through our small communities, rural forests, and farmland to our county seat of Monroeville.
