Montgomery

Montgomery, founded in 1819 on the Alabama River, quickly became a key city in the state’s history, growing through the cotton trade and becoming Alabama’s capital in 1846. Today, Dexter Avenue runs through downtown to the State Capitol, while visitors can explore 19th-century life at Old Alabama Town, enjoy the arts at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, dive into Civil Rights history, visit the Fitzgerald Museum, or sample classic Southern cuisine.

The city is also a great base for exploring Civil Rights and historical sites. Along the National Civil Rights Trail to Selma, see the National Voting Rights Museum, Brown Chapel, and the Edmund Pettus Bridge. A day trip to Tuskegee highlights the Tuskegee Airmen, Booker T. Washington’s home, and the George Washington Carver Museum, making Montgomery a rich and memorable destination.

Selma

Sitting on the banks of the Alabama River and surrounded by forests and fields rich with wildlife, Selma is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Hunters and anglers alike will find plenty to enjoy, from traditional hunting grounds to excellent fishing opportunities.

Selma is also steeped in history, with more than a century of stories predating the Civil War. The city is home to numerous historic sites, many of which are said to be haunted, giving visitors a fascinating glimpse into the past.
