Hank Williams was an unmistakeable forefather of country music, and his creations and legacy are celebrated to great effect in the Hank Williams Museum. Williams is linked to Montgomery as he won his first talent show here at the Empire Theatre and also gave his last performance here just three days before his death. The museum attraction features an amazing collection of memorabilia and mementos that tell the story of the life and work of this true musical legend.

From the graceful moves of the performers to the bold theatrics of the accompanying music, you will enjoy the various aspects of ballet when you experience an evening of entertainment with the Montgomery Ballet, Montgomery's official performing dance company. In addition to presenting various productions throughout the year, the Montgomery Ballet is also a school that trains young, talented dancers and grooms them for a place on the company's prestigious stage. So whether you are new to the art of dance or are a seasoned lover of this graceful means of expression, the Montgomery Ballet's dedication to excellence in ballet will not disappoint.

Some of Montgomery's most beautiful natural amenities await you when you escape the daily hustle and bustle to enjoy some time outdoors at Gunter Hill Park. This popular campground features expansive green meadows that are populated with beautiful, shady trees and other foliage that overlooks the waters of the Alabama River. The park is a very popular fishing destination, so make sure you have plenty of bait to reel in that big one!

Montgomery does have its share of the unexpected, and a prime example of that is the MOOseum. Sponsored by the Alabama Cattlemen's Association, this free educational center is located near the State Capitol and utilizes videos, exhibits and pieces of memorabilia to underscore the importance of cows and cattle. The back half of the museum attraction features a big amusement area that has a play kitchen, rodeo gear and saddles and a big stuffed cow. The kids will just love it!
