Additional Information
Montgomery Alabama is home to two of the nation's most cataclysmic events: the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement.Not only can you see where the telegram was received to start the Civil War or see where Jefferson Davis took the oath of office, but you can witness where Rosa Parks took a stand for courage and refused to give up her seat and attend the only church Martin Luther King Jr. pastored. Montgomery truly is one of America's most historically marked cities. Take a journey through our great city and experience its rich history for yourself. In This Place lists each historical marker found in Montgomery County and gives its location,Montgomery makes a great home base for exploring many important Civil Rights sites.
Montgomery to Selma: Much of the Civil Rights story can be revisited in Montgomery. But even more can be found along the National Civil Rights Trail, which links Montgomery to nearby Selma. Once in Selma, tour compelling sites like the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church & King Monument and the Edmund Pettus Bridge.Montgomery to Tuskegee: A daytrip to Tuskegee offers a glimpse of heroism at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. Educational accomplishments are also honored in Tuskegee at “The Oaks,” home of Booker T. Washington, and at the George Washington Carver Museum.
“This is great news for our city, a place with immense history and the setting for some of the most seminal moments in our nation’s history – from the Civil War to Civil Rights to civil aviation,” Mayor Todd Strange said in a release earlier today. “As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March and 60th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott next year, visitors will not only experience our history, but they will discover there’s a whole lot more to Montgomery, like our revitalized riverfront, the vibrant downtown entertainment district and world-class cultural institutions. Thank you to our residents, community leaders, USA Today readers and everyone else who voted for Montgomery as the Best Historic City in the nation.”
