15 Best Things To Do in Montgomery, Alabama

As Alabama’s capital, Montgomery lies on the Alabama River and offers multiple sightseeing opportunities, such as the Montgomery zoo and the ‘Mooseum,’ which is a cow-themed museum in the city.

The city’s history is its most treasured attraction since it’s considered to be the birthplace of the nationwide Civil Rights Movement. Today, Montgomery has multiple museums and memorials that highlight the struggles of that time and their national impact.

Of them, the Civil Rights Memorial Center is the most popular where the words "until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream" embedded in granite sends chills down the visitors’ spines.

Some other popular attractions in Montgomery include the Legacy Museum, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, King Memorial Baptist Church, and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice.
