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 calm soothing sound of the water rippling along and the birds chirping in the background as the trees rustle isn't a nature lover's dream. It is actually a reality when you visit Coosa River in Montgomery. Even though the river begins in Tennessee before entering Alabama at Weiss Lake, the Coosa River meets the Tallapoosa River to form the Alabama River. Aside from great fishing and kayaking, the river is a great place to just sit outdoors and enjoy one of the area's most beautiful natural treasures.

These days, going to the movies for entertainment feels more like going to the mall with a bunch of teenagers. Thankfully, Montgomery's Capri Theatre offers you a chance to have a truly classic movie experience. This vintage theater dates back to 1941 and stood as the city's first neighborhood theater. It is located in historic Cloverdale and has the distinction of being Montgomery's only independent cinema. Foreign films, underground titles and the occasional classic are screened regularly.
