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.

The two of you have a history, to be sure. A great romantic date idea is to explore some of the area's most historically packed places that will surely give you a different perspective. One such place is the First White House of the Confederacy. Originally occupied by Jefferson Davis and his family in the early days of the War Between the States, this impressive structure was originally built in the 1830s. See breathtaking parlors, bedrooms, furniture and personal effects that all help to paint a truly unforgettable portrait of the past.

While Buck's Pocket State Park may be a bit of a drive away from Montgomery, the area's amazing scenery and activities make it all worth it. One of the more popular activities is the park's 20 miles of hiking and recreation trails. These trails vary in length from a quarter mile to six miles but all offer a chance to experience the amazing woodlands and vista's from a truly unique perspective.

A visit to Montgomery's Oakwood Cemetery Annex is as historically interesting as it is somewhat eerie. This cemetery dates back to the 1800s and is the burial site for many of Alabama's forefathers. Hank Williams is buried here, as memorialized by a stone-carved cowboy hat that marks his gravesite. This is a great stop to learn about Montgomery's history from a totally unique perspective.
