The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is one of the most historically significant sites from the Civil Rights Movement. This is where four young girls lost their lives when the church was the subject of a bomb attack. That horrific event was a pivotal occurrence in the quest for equal rights for all citizens. The fact that it occurred in this particular church only underscores the importance of forgiveness and love despite overwhelming adversities. The congregation is one of the most spirited you will ever encounter, and the sanctuary is a true work of art. If you would like a tour of this historic attraction, please call ahead to make the necessary arrangements.

As far back as 1882, Birmingham's Sloss Furnaces produced iron which was a key factor in the establishment and development of the city of Birmingham.

When you experience a tour of this remarkable facility, you will be struck by the intricate web of pipes and tall smokestacks constructed. Your guide will give you details on how it all worked, and how the eventual production of iron not only shaped the future of Birmingham, but of the whole country as well.
