MONTGOMERY

THINGS WE LOVE

Heritage Hotspots Walk in the footsteps of worldchanging events. Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement.

Fabulous Firsts Montgomery was the site of the Wright Brothers’ first civilian flying school and boasted the first electric streetcar system in the country.

Park Places Take a walk, fly a kite or just relax with a book at one of Montgomery’s multiple green spaces like Blount Cultural Park or Vaughn Road Park.

Sweet Treats Get a mouthful of sugary goodness at Louisa’s Bakery tucked away in Old Cloverdale and indulge in a peanut butter cupcake.

Warm Welcomes The friendly smiles of Montgomery people under-score the fact that manners matter here.

Hot Dog! Take a bite of history at Chris’ Hot Dogs, a local favorite that’s been serving tasty dogs in a signature sauce since 1917.

Plain Nuts Enjoy Montgomery’s Tucker Pecans. They taste great right out of the shell but even better smothered in chocolate.

Otter Nonsense Go wild at The Montgomery Zoo, with hundreds of animal species. Don’t miss the tigers, the elephants or the playful otters.

Crooner’s Caddy See the car in which country music superstar Hank Williams took his final ride at The Hank Williams Museum, home of the largest collection of Hank memorabilia found anywhere.

Shakespeare, Y’all Take in a play at one of the country’s most celebrated theatres, The Alabama Shakespeare Festival.

World-Class Entertainment The capital city continually draws big-name performers and shows with major star appeal, including musicians like Elton John.

Nightlife Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, hub of the city’s entertainment district, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center. River Rides Roll on down the Alabama River aboard the city’s very own riverboat, The Harriott II.

Cheesy Chow Do your taste buds a favor and fill up on a good-n-greasy cheeseburger from Hamburger King downtown.

Pass the Biscuits Catch a Montgomery Biscuits baseball game and a flying biscuit too at historic Riverwalk Stadium.

What They Say... WE THINK MONTGOMERY IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT, BUT DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

Dr. King once preached, and they can visit the basement ... “[In Montgomery] Tourists can stand and look out from the pulpit where mery Bus Boycott.” -The Wall Street Journal where movement leaders hatched plans for the year-long Montgo

SPOUSE TOURS: We’ve Got You Covered If you’re visiting Montgomery for a convention or meeting, bring your spouse along. From historic sites to garden or golfing delights, our city has plenty of activities and attractions to keep them busy while you’re getting down to business. Let the CVB schedule one of the following tours for your significant other, or we can customize a tour to address specific interests.

What a Capital Idea!

Montgomery, the capital city of Alabama, also served as the Capital of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. See the sites where all the action happened on this tour.

Courageous, Visionary, Rebellious

Experience an event that changed our nation and visit Montgomery’s Civil Rights attractions. Become a part of Montgomery’s history and add your name to the “Wall of Tolerance.”

Arts, Culture & More

Visit the museum dedicated to music legend Hank Williams and his career. Then, it’s off to the 350-acre Blount Cultural Park, home to The Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.

Tee It Up!

Alabama is home to the American golfer’s equivalent of Disney World. One stop on the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is nestled 10 minutes from downtown Montgomery. Golf Magazine called the Judge course one of the top public courses in America worthy of hosting the U. S. Open, and the Zagat Survey of America’s Top Golf Courses ranked it among the top 50 courses in America.

Historical Churches

Another favorite tour includes several historic churches that Montgomerians still worship in today. St. John Episcopal Church was the place of worship of Jefferson Davis and his family while serving as President of the Confederacy in Montgomery. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. first preached his message of hope and brotherhood from a modest pulpit at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church.

Super-Natural Gardens & More

Explore the beauty and bounty that Mother Nature bestowed on the River Region at the Hampstead Institute Downtown Farm, Blount Cultural Park, Shakespeare Garden & Amphitheatre and Jasmine Hill Gardens and Outdoor Museum.

Retail Therapy

Shop the capital city’s many unique boutiques as well as national retailers in several shopping districts, each with its own personality and offerings: The Shoppes at EastChase, Eastdale Mall, The Mulberry District and Old Cloverdale.

Don’t Forget Fido The capital city isn’t just cool for people, it’s cool with canines too. Check out these pet-friendly places that are happy to accommodate your four-legged friend. EAT: TRUE and Midtown Pizza Kitchen have outdoor seating where dogs are welcome. The Tipping Point in Hampstead neighborhood takes it a step farther, offering dog bones and water bowls for pets on its expansive deck and even Frisbees for playing in the nearby park.

STAY: Look for the “pets allowed” designation on the Accommodations chart to find pet-friendly hotels. PLAY: The Hannah Daye Ridling Bark Park is a 5-acre area just for pooch playtime with special designated areas for both large and small dogs. There are also two pavilions, benches, a wash pad for each side and a walking trail. Located at the Blount Cultural Park, it’s a great spot to relax while your dog burns off some energy. TREAT: Stop in Louisa’s Bakery in Old Cloverdale and grab some fresh-baked, homemade doggie cookies made with only the best ingredients.

Chef Leo Maurelli, named the Alabama Chef of the Year in 2011, is at the helm in the kitchen at Central in downtown Montgomery, and he routinely whips up dishes full of fresh ingredients procured from local producers, including Gulf seafood and just-picked veggies and herbs from the E.A.T. South downtown farm. His duck wontons got him to the finals in a national food competition, and his steak frites with local herb chimichurri is a musttry. Maurelli’s menu changes seasonally, in keeping with his farm-to-fork philosophy, so you’re always guaranteed a great meal.

As its name implies, the Montgomery River Region is an area full of rivers. Some are lazy, others fast flowing, but this confluence of water in Central Alabama has formed a section of the state that is known for many things. Encompassing everything from the natural beauty and rustic feel of rural landscapes and agricultural industries to hightech manufacturing facilities, the seat of state government and a major Air Force base, the River Region is composed of several distinct communities, all boasting rich histories and exciting futures on the horizon. The River Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities include: Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, the Town of Pike Road, Wetumpka, Tuskegee and Tallassee. The region is growing quickly and is currently home to over 366,000 people. Discover the abundant opportunities that make them great places to live, work or visit.

E South

The River Region got its name thanks to two major rivers, The Coosa and The Tallapoosa, joining to form The Alabama River just north of the capital city. The Alabama River runs alongside downtown Montgomery and continues south where it forms the Mobile and Tenasaw rivers, which finally empty into Mobile Bay.

COMMUNITY

PROUD PARTNERS

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE CONTRIBUTES MUCH TO MONTGOMERY, AND THE CAPITAL CITY WELCOMES MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR FAMILIES TO THE COMMUNITY. A little over a century ago, man conquered the laws of gravity. In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the dream of flight a reality when their bi-plane soared above the sands in Kittyhawk, North Carolina, for 12 seconds, covering 120 feet. After many more flights going longer and farther, on March 26, 1910, the brothers established the nation’s first civilian flying school in Montgomery at Wright Field, and the first powered flight in Alabama took place. Though the Wright’s school lasted only a short time, it set the stage for exciting things to come in Montgomery, most notably the establishment of Maxwell Air Force Base at the very same place that witnessed the state’s first flight. In the early 1930s, the Army Air Corps Tactical School moved to Maxwell Field, and Montgomery became the country’s intellectual center for airpower education. Now, Air University at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base continues to educate tomorrow’s planners and leaders in air, space and cyberspace power for the Air Force, as well as other branches of the U.S. armed forces, federal government civilians and international organizations. Ever since Maxwell-Gunter AFB located to the capital city, a beneficial relationship has flourished, a true partnership that benefits those stationed at the base as well as Montgomery and River Region residents. Base personnel contribute to the local economy simply by being here — Maxwell-Gunter AFB has an estimated annual economic impact of approximately $1.5 billion on the River Region, and that number is growing. Most of them go a step further though, donating their time

In 1910, fathers of flight Wilbur and Orville Wright established the country’s first civilian flying school in Montgomery. Visit the new Wright Brothers Park with a replica of the Wright Flyer. and talents to give back to the community. Airmen stationed at the base routinely volunteer to staff local events, assist local charities, plant trees, tutor area students, hold and participate in blood drives, food drives, park and public school clean-up efforts and more. Also thanks to the presence of the base, Montgomery has grown to become a hub of military aviation advancements and information technology. Montgomery is happy to have the base and everyone associated with it here and shows its appreciation in various ways including the work of The Wright Flyers, an organization of The Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce dedicated to furthering the spirit of cooperation and support. Today, the relationship between Montgomery and Maxwell-Gunter AFB continues to grow and strengthen, benefitting both.
