Embark on an historical journey when you pay a visit to the Alabama State Capitol. This structure was built in 1851 and was both the state Capitol and the Capitol of the Confederacy during the American Civil War in 1861. There are several exhibits and attractions that underscore the vital role that Alabama played in the history of the United States.
No visit to Montgomery is complete without seeing the three historic downtown streets that make up the Garden District. Some of the most beautiful and historic homes in the city can be found here as well as the Governor's Mansion and other interesting landmarks and attractions. Neoclassical, Greek revival and bungalow-styled homes can all be seen here. The district is perfect for an afternoon stroll or Sunday drive.
Sometimes when your kids get antsy and irritable, the best remedy is to let them run around outside and play for awhile. Montgomery's Vaughn Road Park is the perfect attraction for just that. This is a kid-friendly park and offers several large, expansive areas as well as state-of-the-art jungle gyms and other fun activities that will entertain even the most restless child. There are also plenty of great places to enjoy a picnic or just sit and watch the kids enjoy themselves.
Among Cheaha State Park's many features are the spectacular views from its high hills and mountains. Another high point is the yearly Annual Mountain Bike Championship Race. The race follows along a 10-mile course that is set up along the park's impressive bike trail. But even when the race isn't on, biking enthusiasts sharpen their skills on this challenging yet popular recreation trail.
