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.

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.

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.

The Talladega National Forest is a favorite of nature lovers in Montgomery. In addition to offering a varied assortment of outdoor recreational activities, this is a place that just brims with irresistible natural beauty. The Cheaha Wilderness area of the forest is not only beautiful, but offers an unmatched opportunity for adventures like hiking and camping. The views are quite panoramic largely due to the valleys that follow the crest of the ridge on the mountainside. Make sure to remember to bring your camera!
