FRESH, LOCAL FLAVOR Montgomery’s history isn’t the only thing captivating visitors and locals alike. Recently, its chefs, unique cuisine and hip, cool entertainment vibe have created a buzz within the Southeast. Here are a few reasons why people are raving about MGM. Photos by Taste Buds Photography

Montgomery, Alabama, was once the Capital of the Confederacy and later became the Birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. Nowhere else in America can you stand in the footsteps of Jefferson Davis, Zelda Fitzgerald, Hank Williams, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and re-live some of the nation’s most significant events. This capital city has literally changed the world.

FOR INFORMATION 800-240-9452 9

Thanks to a dramatic revitalization in the downtown area, Montgomery has reemerged as one of the must-see travel destinations in the South. Modern-day Montgomery offers a walkable downtown complete with a Riverfront Park and Riverboat, an urban farm that provides the local restaurants with produce, and enough attractions and historic sites to keep you busy for days. Montgomery’s downtown Alley entertainment district heats up after dark with a vibrant atmosphere and features many of the city’s unique bars and restaurants. It is deemed by the locals as the city’s newest hot spot. Montgomery’s transformation isn’t the only thing attracting visitors from around the world; its exquisite local cuisine has also gained national attention. Chef Leonardo Maurelli, III, of Central restaurant is a star of the city’s food scene. He uses fresh, local produce and Alabama-made products to create a seasonal menu that embodies Southern tradition with a nod to his Panamanian and Italian Heritage. Chef Leo was just named one of the “Best Chefs in the South” by Best Chefs America. If you’re into craft beer and local breweries, Montgomery’s own Railyard Brewery is also a local favorite. Small batches of seasonal beers brewed on site rotate through the year while some signature standbys such as the Alabama Pale Ale (an IPA) and the Scottish Strong Ale are always on tap. The food is Southern brewpub style—think pimento cheese on a burger paired with fried Wickles, a spicy pickle made in a neighboring Alabama county. Downtown dining doesn’t stop there. The House at the Renaissance Hotel & Spa offers a delicious breakfast to start your day. The omellette bar is a real crowd pleaser, and don’t miss the chance to try it with some Conecuh sausage, an Alabama favorite. You’ve never had anything so good! The Aviator Bar is the perfect spot to wind down and enjoy happy hour or an after-dinner drink in the downtown area. As the name suggests, the bar is decked out in aviation-themed memorabilia, a nod to Montgomery’s aviation history and large Air Force presence. The atmosphere is like a European bunker, dark with several smaller rooms both upstairs and downstairs. It’s extremely popular with the local military crowd, and you may find yourself discussing strategy over drinks with a high-ranking officer working at Maxwell Air Force Base. 10 UPCOMING EVENTS VISITINGMONTGOMERY.COM

Just a few miles away you’ll find another local hangout in lovely Old Cloverdale. This hip and historic neighborhood features some of the city’s most eclectic bars, restaurants and art galleries, and is even home to an independent movie theatre, the Capri. TRUE, owned by the two-time James Beard award nominee for “Best Chef in the South” Wesley True, is located here. Chef True honors his home city of Mobile with his deep commitment to serving Alabama’s Gulf Coast seafood. His signature dish, the crawfish beignets, will not disappoint. Just steps away, you can visit the upscale neighborhood bottleshop and Southern style restaurant, Derk’s. With an extensive selection of specialty wines and brews, you’re sure to pick the perfect poison.

”

Montgomery is steeped in the history of world-changing events and is home to some of the best cultural and culinary experiences in the South.

Or if you want to be seen, step out on the patio of Pine Bar and enjoy a great cocktail, craft beer or high-end bourbon. This place is a favorite among the local professionals and lawmakers, so you’ll be rubbing elbows with some of the most powerful folks in the state.

Another foodie favorite in East Montgomery is City Grill, located in the sustainable, mixed-use neighborhood of Hampstead. This place has such a crowd following that you’d better make a reservation ahead of time. Their Tuna Napoleon was listed as “One of 100 Alabama Dishes to Eat Before You Die” by the Alabama Tourism Department. Before you leave, you have to experience what the locals call a “meat and three” at Martha’s Place. Get a plate full of Southern comfort food classics such as fried chicken, collard greens, blackeyed peas, fried okra and don’t forget the cornbread! While you’re here, be sure to meet Martha, who is living her dream of opening a restaurant that serves food to nourish the body and soul and make people feel at home. Montgomery is steeped in the history of world-changing events and is home to some of the best cultural and culinary experiences in the South. From a revitalized downtown to an array of new museums, restaurants, attractions and accommodations, this riverfront capital city is the charming Southern town you’ve always wanted to experience with the convenience and fun of a vibrant city. We invite you to explore all our city has to offer at visitingmontgomery.com.

If casual, relaxed and slightly hipster is your vibe, check out LeRoy. Tucked away down a back alley, you’ll need a local’s help to find it. But, when you crack open the door and find the warm, wood paneled room with several taps holding the best beers you’ve ever tasted, it will be well worth it. The bartenders know their beers and make some very nice cocktails as well. Here, all kinds gather, from eccentric literary types (you are in the Fitzgeralds’ neighborhood now) to the guy who makes the burritos at El Rey, the Mexican lounge next door. When it comes to local favorites, you’re also not far from Chop House at Vintage Year. Around Montgomery, the name speaks for itself. Consistently excellent food and service make this the perfect spot. The chef often prepares wild game so you shouldn’t be surprised to find quail or even elk on the menu from time to time. And your meal won’t be complete unless you add a side of their famous truffle mac and cheese.

Wesley True offers Montgomery diners an inventive mix of classic technique and Southern ingredients that forms a cuisine all his own. Fresh gulf seafood, locally sourced vegetables, and one of the finest wine lists in Montgomery (thanks to his sommelier wife Bobbi Heithoff) are what you should expect to find at TRUE. Wesley came to the capital city from Mobile, Alabama where he was a two-time James Beard Aware finalist and received widespread recognition in magazines like Southern Living and Garden & Gun. Wesley recently represented Alabama Gulf Seafood at the Hangout Festival in Mobile and hosted a cooking demonstration at the 2014 Atlanta Food and Wine Festival.

Meat & Three: Usually refers to more casual “home cooking” spots and means the menu offers a plate with your choice of one meat (fried chicken, First White House of the Confederacy country fried steak, fried catfish — sensing a pattern here?) and three sides, 14 9 usually Southern-style vegetables like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, 2 squash casserole, creamed corn, collard greens (see definition below) and more. Often served with cornbread or biscuit.

THE TOWN OF PIKE ROAD GOOD NEIGHBORS A QUINTESSENTIAL ALABAMA “HOMETOWN,” THE TOWN OF PIKE ROAD WELCOMES ALL TO EXPERIENCE ITS WELL-BLENDED MIX OF OLD AND NEW.

Pike Road School opening Fall 2015

Connected & Community-Focused

Kids Come First

Nestled nicely into the eastern part of Montgomery County, the Town of Pike Road is a perfect snapshot of small-town life, offering pastoral scenery and a more leisurely pace that feels a whole world away, yet is only minutes from opportunities offered by neighboring cities.

More than 200 meetings and thousands of heartfelt conversations with residents helped establish the four pillars that drive the Town’s progress: quality of life, public services, planning and education. Currently, the Town is putting special emphasis on its educational offerings. In 2010, a longtime goal moved closer to reality when the Town of Pike Road established its own public school system, representing the culmination of a vision shared by countless community members since 1970, when the original Pike Road School was closed. In 2014, ground was broken on the first campus of the Pike Road School System. It was a monumental day and one that continued the Town’s journey toward a promising future for all of its residents. With doors set to open in the fall of 2015, students and parents are excited to once again have the opportunity to experience a quality public education.

The Town of Pike Road is somewhat new; it was incorporated as a municipality in 1997. But a thriving community has flourished in the area for over 175 years. The old and the new are inextricably intertwined in the Town of Pike Road. Today, the area is bustling with activity, drawing new families, those looking for both the peaceful appeal of days gone by and the excitement of an energized town with fresh ideas. The Town’s sprawling meadows and woodland glens are dotted with more than 40 unique neighborhoods, each with its own personality. The population, which approaches 8,000 residents, is diverse, with citizens across the demographic spectrum calling the Town of Pike Road home.

66 UPCOMING EVENTS VISITINGMONTGOMERY.COM

A Prosperous Present Its ability to attract such a variety of people is proof of its appeal, and perhaps the Town’s biggest asset is its commitment to maintaining the character while planning wisely for progress. Family farms and equestrian facilities maintain the Town’s ties to its agricultural roots, as new businesses and new neighborhoods

come to the area, creating a harmonious mix of yesterday and today. “Our motto is ‘welcome home,’ and these words exemplify the spirit of this town and the feeling we try to convey to everyone who visits,” said Mayor Gordon Stone.

The Future is Bright Since incorporation, the Town of Pike Road has grown and evolved. What began as a community with a little more than 300 people has now prospered into a thriving town of nearly 8,000. “Pike Road is a special place. Our unique municipal model is built on great partnerships, strong volunteers, dedicated staff and an engaged group of residents. We’ve listened to the people from day one and stayed true to what was important to them. Careful planning with an emphasis on preserving our character has been a fundamental component from the beginning,” said Mayor Stone.

By Leaps & Bounds According to data recently released by the Census Bureau, the Town of Pike Road has seen a 14.5 percent growth rate since 2012. This makes the municipality the fastest growing in the state of Alabama. This growth continues to impact economic development throughout the River Region.

The Town also has completed the first phase of a Natural Trails System that highlights the beauty of its rural landscape and will also be used as an educational tool to connect neighbors, family and friends. Phase I is a four-mile stretch of multi-use trails for walking, running, biking and even horseback riding. When complete, the system will use multiple, different “trailheads” to connect more than 30 miles of territory. Each one of these trailheads will focus on a different educational component tied to the history of Pike Road. Visit pikeroad.us for more details.

Who Knew? In 1815, the arrival of three families — the Marks, Mathews and the Meriwethers —signaled the beginning of a new community where the Town of Pike Road is today. Soon, others joined them and a small but booming community sprouted at the intersection of the highly traveled Pike and Meriwether Roads. The community adopted Pike Road for its name, and the road got its name from the toll or “pike” that people had to pay to use it.

FOR INFORMATION 800-240-9452 67

a groundbreaking community The Town of Pike Road is continually breaking new ground and building up businesses while maintaining its focus on its resident families.

SELMA THE OLD SOUTH WITH A NEW ATTITUDE

IN SELMA, HISTORY LIVES ON EVERY CORNER, AND WHILE THE CITY IS ANCHORED BY ITS PAST, IT’S FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE, CELEBRATING HERITAGE, ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND CULTURE WITH YOU. Civil War As a major manufacturer of military resources and munitions for the Confederate cause, Selma was at the center of some of the Civil War’s most contested struggles. Evidence of the role the city played in the Civil War can still be seen and felt today at several historic sites. The Old Depot Museum offers visitors a tour through the colorful past of Selma, with a particular focus on Selma’s place in the Civil War. A cameo of Elodie Todd Dawson, Abraham Lincoln’s sisterin-law and a rabid confederate, offers a poignant reminder that the Civil War split many families asunder. Confederate bills, many printed in Selma, recall “the lost cause” in all its frailty. Selma’s crucial role as one of the South’s largest munitions producers is highlighted with exhibits of shells and cannon balls that visitors can both see and touch. As a sister museum to Selma’s National Voting Rights Museum, the Slavery and Civil War Museum’s permanent and temporary

exhibits invite you to explore and reflect upon one of the most controversial and compelling periods of our country’s history. This museum offers, by appointment only, an educational perspective of the Civil War and slavery with provocative, yet balanced, displays, many of which are interactive. Serving as a Confederate Hospital, the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum was spared by Federal General J.H. Wilson when his troops ravished Selma in early April 1865. It is now home to the Art Lewis Collection of Documents and includes a pardon signed by President Abraham Lincoln just four days before his assassination. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Old Live Oak Cemetery tells multiple stories through its headstones and monuments, many of which mark the final resting place of Civil War soldiers. The Confederate Monument is in the cemetery’s Memorial Circle and honors fallen Confederate soldiers, including the 155 who were moved from other cemeteries to Old Live Oak. Many other prominent Selmians are interred at this beautiful spot as well.

Civil Rights

50TH ANNIVERSARY EVENTS

After decades of oppression, it took years of peaceful protest in the face of violent opposition to finally achieve voting rights for African Americans. Much of the Civil Rights struggle took place in and around Selma, including one of its seminal moments, the Selma to Montgomery March. In 1965, hundreds of voting rights advocates, both black and white, set off on foot to Montgomery and the Capitol Building to take their grievances to Governor George Wallace’s doorstep.

On March 7, 1965, 600 people marched toward Montgomery. After just six blocks, when they crossed the now infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River, mounted deputies and state troopers dispatched by Governor Wallace attacked the group with nightsticks and tear gas, injuring dozens. The event came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” The violence stopped the marchers’ first attempt, but they would not be stopped for good. Two weeks later, under the protection of Alabama National Guardsmen and Army troops, a court-ordered limit of 300 marchers led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set off again from Selma and marched along U.S. Hwy. 80 to the steps of the State Capitol. Soon after, President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act on August 6. In Selma, walk in the footsteps of the brave men and women who fought for equal rights by visiting historic sites including the Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail, the Selma Interpretive Center, the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the National Voting Rights Museum.

Architecture Much can be learned about the character and heritage of a place simply by looking at its architecture. This is certainly true in Selma; it is one of the few towns in the United States with so much impressive architectural variety in such a small area. Many of the over 1,200 historic structures you can observe boast architectural significance that go far beyond the stories of the families who lived in them. Indeed, the city’s homes, buildings, churches and other structures reveal its rich past in every arch, window, column and deep porch. VISITOR GUIDE selmaalabama.com Take the city’s Walking Tour to discover its multi-layered history as seen in its wide array of architectural styles.

Arts “Art for All” could be the motto of the Selma Art Guild, a local group that runs the city’s only permanent art gallery showcasing the talents of area artists. The Guild welcomes you to see and enjoy paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, fiber arts and more for free, as the gallery never charges admission. Founded in 2003, ArtsRevive’s mission is to: “enhance community development in the greater historic Selma region through the development of arts, urban design and tourism while preserving the diverse cultural heritage of the region.” One of ArtsRevive’s major projects is the transformation of the old Carneal Auto building downtown into the ArtsRevive Center, a space for offices, art shows, art workshops and other community events.

PRATTVILLE WHERE EVERYONE MATTERS ONE OF ALABAMA’S FIRST “PLANNED COMMUNITIES,” PRATTVILLE IS PROUD OF ITS PAST AND ENJOYING ITS PRESENT — LOOKING AHEAD TO EVEN BETTER TIMES.

Just 13 miles north of Montgomery, Prattville is a city with multiple personalities that work together to create a place that’s earned itself the name “the Preferred Community.” The city was modeled after a New England village, yet has all the hospitality and warmth indicative of its deep-South locale. Although ranked as one of the fastest growing areas in Alabama, Prattville maintains a quaint charm, and its close-knit, small-town atmosphere belies the many metropolitan opportunities and modern amenities offered. It’s a harmonious marriage of seeming opposites that’s made its residents swell with hometown pride and eager to welcome everyone to their special spot in Central Alabama’s River Region.

”

Our neighborly feel and sense of place make Prattville such a great city to live in or just to visit. Patty Vanderwal, President, Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce

A History of Industry In 1818, Autauga County was established a full year before Alabama even became a state. The area got its big boost when in 1835, the city’s namesake, New Hampshire native and industrialist Daniel Pratt, bought nearly 2,000 acres at the fall line of Autauga Creek, the area that is now downtown Prattville. Pratt established a town and began manufacturing his cotton gins, and his company quickly became the foremost producer of cotton gins in the world. Pratt is widely considered “Alabama’s First Industrialist,” and as his enterprises prospered, so did Prattville. In 1866, Prattville became the county seat, and Pratt was unanimously elected the town’s first mayor. From these humble beginnings, Prattville is home to almost 35,000 people today.

Sights to See Prattville’s second nickname is “The Fountain City,” thanks to its many artesian wells. Some have been capped, but there are plenty still offering up gallons of sweet, clear, mineral-rich water, and a few allow citizens and visitors to fill containers and take the water home. Find public artesian wells throughout the historic downtown area including one at the corner of 3rd and Chestnut Streets. It is history that’s flowing free at the Prattaugan Museum/Heritage Center. This circa 1840 Greek Revival home contains numerous interesting artifacts from the Pratt Family. There’s also a public artesian well at this site. Efforts to preserve heritage in the form of old homes and other structures resulted in the creation of Old Prattvillage. Another preserved architectural treasure is Buena Vista, a circa 1830 structure on the National Register of Historic Places. Legend has it that Andrew Jackson patterned the staircase at his home The Hermitage after visiting Buena Vista. To fully explore the Prattville area’s natural beauty, Wilderness Park is a must-see. Giant oriental bamboo plants soar 60 feet to form a canopy in the sky. On the banks of the Alabama River, Cooter’s Pond Park features two boat ramps, docks, a riverwalk and pavilions. A popular, and usually productive, fishing hole by the same name abuts the park. Another place that begs a visit is Prattville’s huge Bass Pro Shop, an outdoor enthusiast’s dream-come-true, with cascading waterfalls, fish aquariums, a restaurant, fudge shop and retail space galore.

Downtown Delights The Daniel Pratt Historic District in downtown has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. Pratt’s careful planning resulted in a pleasing and efficient layout of manufacturing, retail businesses, churches, schools and residences. The rest of downtown retains much of this same feel and has been reinvigorated in recent years, now boasting locally owned shops and boutiques, restaurants and more.

The Creekwalk is nestled along the banks of Autauga Creek and winds through a portion of the historic downtown area. Heritage Park offers a great view of Pratt’s dream showcased in the Autauga Creek Dam and the Pratt Manufacturing Complex, which is still in operation today as Continental Eagle.

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 MaxwellGunter 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 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, benefiting both.
