Teaching the kids about history can sometimes be a next to impossible task. But when history comes to life as brilliantly as it does when you visit Old Alabama Town, you and your family can travel back in time on a truly unforgettable adventure. Old Alabama Town is a collection of authentically restored 19th and 20th century structures that cover six city blocks. This nearly cinematic group of buildings will capture everyone's imagination. See gristmills, stores, a one-room schoolhouse and lots more, plus costumed guides that give a voice to the stories and history this unique attraction vividly evokes.
The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts is one of the oldest museums in the state of Alabama. With that distinction comes the facility's equally impressive collection of American paintings and sculpture. You'll also find an equally notable collection of Old Master prints, southern regional art, as well as several pieces of eye-catching decorative arts. There are also several traveling exhibits and attractions that add to the overall scope of the work that is presented here. Additionally, the museum is situated on beautiful grounds, adjacent to an inviting lake; so after you take in the fine artwork inside, enjoy some natural beauty during your visit, too.
There's nothing like a live theatrical performance that allows you to get close to the action. When you see a show at the Cloverdale Playhouse, that's just what you'll get. The Cloverdale is Montgomery's only entertainment venue that celebrates the art of community theater. In addition to a regular schedule of productions, the Cloverdale Playhouse also stages various children's theater productions as well as various other forms of performing arts.
Montgomery is the home of the Montgomery Biscuits baseball team. The sports team plays in the Class AA Southern League and are affiliated with the Tampa Bay Rays. Their home games are played at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium.
