One of the few open on Sundays. Zelda Sayer was an unconventional woman from a prominent Montgomery family who married F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their house is nearby and the story is fascinating. Watch "Z: The Beginning of Everything" on Amazon Prime (app on home page of the TV) before or after you go.
