Located on the Alabama River in the center of the
state, Montgomery is a thriving city with an impressive amount of
history and distinctly southern style of living. The city is filled
with culture and history, but the passage of time is gracefully slow
and easy, in the southern style.
Montgomery is a
cosmopolitan city. From its famous Shakespeare festival to its
symphony orchestra to the F. Scott Fitzgerald Museum, there are
activities of substance that are culturally significant.
Visitors should check with the Arts Council before coming so they
can plan ahead as to which of the many activities they will try to
attend.
In the 1860s, Montgomery was part of the
Confederacy and the first Confederate White House still stands.
Montgomery is justifiably proud of its history, and the many aspects
of that history have united to form a strong cultural identity.
Montgomery's Confederate Trail Itinerary covers a fascinating route
from the State Capitol, past many buildings connected with that time
in history, ending at the Confederate prison and
cemetery.
Montgomery's is one of a few state
capitol buildings designated a National Historic Landmark.
Known as the birthplace of the Confederacy and of the Civil Rights
movement, The Alabama State Capitol is where Jefferson Davis took
the oath of office as President of the Confederate States of America
and where the Selma-to-Montgomery civil rights March ended with Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. delivering a moving speech from the bottom
of its steps. The historic Senate and House of Representatives
Chambers, the old Supreme Court Chambers and several official
offices have all been restored to their Civil War-era and
turn-of-the-century appearances.
The Hank Williams Memorial
honors the country singer, who is perhaps best known for his ballad,
“Your Cheatin' Heart.” The memorial is downtown in the Oakwood
Cemetery Annex . Weekdays, the W.A. Gayle
Planetarium on Forest Ave., presents sky shows and science
programs.
Martin Luther King, Jr. preached in Montgomery from
1954 to 1960, and there is a monument to the Civil Rights
movement. Completed in 1989, the Civil Rights Memorial stands
in the front plaza of the Southern Poverty Law Center, 400
Washington Ave., as a monument to those who died in the struggle for
racial equality. The memorial features the top of a circular marble
table covered with a thin sheet of flowing water and is inscribed
with dates of key events and names of people involved in the civil
rights movement
For a good understanding of the region, visit the
Museum of Northern Arizona, which has exhibits exploring the
geology, paleontology and biology of the area, including a nature
trail that offers an easy and enjoyable hike. It is especially
impressive in the spring and fall because of its lush trees, plank
bridges and huge blocks of basalt.
Flagstaff's
downtown historic district features refurbished late-Victorian and
art-deco architecture. Riordan Mansion State Historic Park preserves
the 40-room home designed by Charles Whittlesley. It is built of
logs and is an excellent example of the Craftsman style of
architecture.
Be sure to consider a side trip
to Sunset Crater National Monument, 20 miles northeast of Flagstaff.
It is the site of an inactive volcanic cone. Visitors can walk
across a hardened lava flow which is said to resemble the surface of
the moon. Meteor Crater, fifty miles to the east, was when a giant
meteor crashed to Earth some 50,000 years ago. The meteor left a
huge hole, about 570 feet deep and 4,150 feet across. The interior
of the crater was used for training the Apollo astronauts. The site
is also home to the Museum of Astrology (meteor exhibits) and the
Astronaut Hall of Fame.
What an exhilarating
experience it is to visit Flagstaff with its nostalgic downtown
historic area filled with reminders of the railroad and Route 66
days, its rugged, incomparable landscape, and its opportunities for
nearly every outdoor recreational pursuit from skiing and hiking to
hunting and fishing, all in one
location.
