Embark on an historical journey when you pay a visit to the Alabama State Capitol.

There are several exhibits and attractions that underscore the vital role that Alabama played in the history of the United States.

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.
