n Flavors: Eat your fill of Southern-fried favorites and upscale culinary creations at Montgomery’s many and varied restaurants.

n Treasure Hunts: Shop for treasures of yesterday and today at stylish independent boutiques, eclectic gift shops, art galleries, antique stores and large national retailers.

n Warm Welcomes: The friendly smiles of Montgomery’s genuine people under-score the fact that manners matter here. Get ready to hear plenty of “thank you,” “ma’am” and “please.”

n Nightlife: Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, the city’s new entertainment district, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center.

n Miles of Smiles: The entire family will have a ball (and maybe learn a bit too!) exploring our family friendly attractions, places like Old Alabama Town, ArtWorks and more.

n Cool Cocktails: Don a faux fur coat and throw back an ice-cold shot in the frozen shot room at AlleyBAR downtown.

n Hot Dog!: Take a bite of history at Chris’ Hot Dogs, a local favorite that’s been serv-ing tasty dogs smothered in a signature sauce since 1917.

n Crooner’s Caddy: See the car in which iconic country music superstar Hank Williams took his final ride at The Hank Williams Museum. It also houses the largest collection of Hank memorabilia found anywhere.

n Cheesy Chow: Do your taste buds a favor and fill up on a good-n-greasy cheeseburger from Hamburger King downtown.

n Park Places: Take a walk, fly a kite or just relax with a book at one of Montgomery’s multiple green spaces like Blount Cultural Park or Vaughn Road Park.

n Plain Nuts: Enjoy Montgomery’s own Tucker Pecans. They taste great right out of the shell but even better when smothered in chocolate.

n Sweet Treats: Get a mouthful of sugary goodness at Louisa’s Bakery tucked away in Old Cloverdale and indulge in a strawberry cupcake.

n Local Talent: We’re over-run with artists. Check out M. Bagwell’s colorful pottery creations, or the array of stunning fine art photography and paintings at galleries like Stonehenge, Dauber Gallery and SAC’s Gallery.

The reasons to make your way to Montgomery are many and varied, but since we can’t possibly list them all, here are some of the very best.

HISTORY HAPPENED HERE

Take a stroll down a single

street — Dexter Avenue —

and follow in the footsteps of

individuals who shaped some

of the most pivotal moments

in America’s history.

In 1819, when the city of Montgomery was established on the banks of the Alabama River, it made its very first mark on the timeline of history. It would certainly not be its last. In the almost two centuries since, this city steeped in Southern charm has been the site of events and accomplish-ments that changed our country.

Named for Revolutionary War hero General Richard Montgomery, Montgomery came to be after two rival towns, Alabama Town, founded by General John Scott, and New Philadelphia, founded by Andrew Dexter, joined forces and merged into one new city. Dexter harbored a grand vision for the city’s future, and set aside a hilltop, called Goat Hill, to one day be the location of Alabama’s capitol building. Thanks to a thriving cotton trade in the area, Montgomery grew and prospered, living up to Dexter’s dream in 1846, when it replaced Tuscaloosa as the state’s capital.

Today, Dexter Avenue, named in honor of Andrew Dexter, bisects the center of downtown Montgom-ery and terminates at the majestic dome of the State Capitol building. This street has seen more than its fair share of history unfold upon it, and it is here that we start our journey through the city’s rich and turbulent past.

JEFFERSON DAVIS INAUGURATION

Start by visiting the Capitol building, and look for the

brass star at the top of the marble steps. Close your eyes,

and imagine for a moment the scene that took place in

that exact spot on 150 years ago. After the Southern

states ceded from the Union and the Civil War began,

Montgomery earned yet another “capital” designation

when it was named Capital of the Confederate States

of America. On Feb. 18, 1861, the president of the Confed-

eracy, Jefferson Davis, was sworn in while standing on the

spot marked by the star.

Explorer Hernando deSoto staked a Spanish flag on the banks of the Ala-bama River near the spot that would later become Montgomery.

In the Winter Building on Dexter Avenue the orders to fire the first shot of the Civil War were signed and sent via telegram.

1540 1861 1861

THE LIGHTNING ROUTE

Look down the street toward beautiful

Court Square Fountain. It was once a

busy center of commerce, communica-

tion and transportation. In 1886, just a

few decades after the Civil War ended,

Montgomery became the first city in

the United States (ahead of other major

metropolitan areas) to install a citywide

electric streetcar system called the

Lightning Route. Dexter Avenue played

a part in this prominent achievement,

as one of the main lines on the route.

ROSA PARkS DURING BUS BOYCOTT RE-ENACTMENT

Fast-forward almost 70 years and walk

from the Capitol toward the Fountain.

In 1955, like much of the country,

Montgomery was heavily segregated

by race. The injustice of the practice

came into sharp focus when a middle-

aged seamstress named Rosa Parks

refused to relinquish her seat to a

white man on a city bus. She boarded

that bus beside Court Square Fountain

on Dexter Avenue and was arrested for

her civil disobedience. Parks’ simple act

of defiance was the spark that ignited

the city-wide bus boycott, which kicked

off the Civil Rights Movement that led

to sweeping changes across the

United States.

THE SELMA TO MONTGOMERY MARCH

Look back towards the Capitol and

picture the wide avenue packed with

people on a mission. Parks’ actions add-

ed fuel to the righteous passions of the

young pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist

Church, Reverend Martin Luther

king Jr. He emerged as the leader of

the Civil Rights Movement and in 1965,

he organized and led a march of over

20,000 people from Selma to the Capi-

tol building in Montgomery, leading the

protestors right up Dexter Avenue.

The Court Square Fountain was placed in its current home at the center of Court Square.

The Riverfront Amphitheater and the Riverwalk signal the rebirth of the capital city’s downtown revitalization.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s last year to pastor Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, which today bears his name.

Wilbur and Orville Wright chose Montgomery to establish the country’s first civilian school for powered avia-tion, and their bi-plane arrived via train at Union Station, just around the cor-ner from the Court Square Fountain.

Of course other streets and other areas of the city boast their own momentous occasions; Montgomery’s past is packed with too many stories and events to do them all justice here. Learn more by following one of the historical itineraries (see page 50) in this guide or by checking out www.visitingmontgomery.com.

When in Montgomery... Do As the Locals DoSome friendly capital city citizens share the faces, places and things

they love in their hometown so you can enjoy them too.

What should visitors know about Prattville?

That the city doesn’t end at the intersection of Cobbs Ford and McQueen Smith roads. They need to venture further in and discover our historic and charm-ing 1800s-era downtown. There are some great locally owned shops and restaurants all tucked into architecturally interesting buildings.

— Charlann Jones, Treasurer of Prattville Downtown Unlimited

Where do the locals go to hear cool blues and smooth jazz?

Sous la Terre downtown is leg-endary for its live music, as is the Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina, which is tucked away down on the river. It has great seafood and brings in some really impressive musicians every weekend. One other cool spot: 1048 Jazz & Blues in Old Cloverdale.

— Candy Capel, Station Manager at WVAS-FM

Know of a good Montgomery mystery?

Sure. How about the “coffin” on top of the pink Steiner-Lobman building on Commerce Street downtown? Local legend claims that an old man is buried in the structure that looks like a sar-cophagus. According to the story, he asked to be interred atop the building so he could look out over his beautiful city forever.

— Will Thompson, Executive Director of the Fitzgerald Museum

What’s unique about Montgomery?

It has the positive attributes of both a big city and a small town. We have great restaurants, muse-ums and other cultural outlets, yet at the same time we have the inti-macy of a close-knit community too. It’s the best of both worlds.

— Michael Briddell, City of Montgomery Director of Public

Information and External Affairs

Where’s a good spot for an afternoon snack?

The Tipping Point at Hampstead is a local hangout and a great pit stop. Refuel for more Mont-gomery exploration with a great cup of coffee or tea and their delicious Cookie Skillet, a big, warm, freshly made chocolate chip cookie. This restaurant also has lunch selections and at night, transforms into a casual bar with live music.

— Anna Lowder, Director of Development,

HampsteadWhat are the best places for children to learn about Montgomery’s past?

Montgomery is so rich in history! From the State Capitol, Old Alabama Town and Dexter Avenue king Memorial Baptist Church to the National Center for Civil Rights and African-American Culture at ASU, Greenwood Cemetery and Freedom Rides Museum, the past comes to life here, and there is always plenty for children to learn, see and do.

— Barbara Thompson, Superintendent of Montgomery

Public Schools

What are your favorite places to play in Montgomery?

I like going to Blount Cultural Park and feeding the ducks and playing catch. And, I can’t wait to go to the skateboard park down-town and practice my tricks.

— TJ Knight, age 7

What’s a “hidden gem” for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the River Region?

The Alabama River is one of the best crappie and spotted bass fish-eries in the United States. Formed by the convergence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, it mean-ders all the way from Wetumpka to Mobile Bay. Numerous parks line the river and have hiking trails, boat access and parking as well as various camping spots. If you enjoy the great outdoors and would really like to land a large, two-pound-plus crappie, come visit us and come fishing.

— Dan Dannenmueller, Crappie Masters Team

Angler of the Year




Take a Taste of MontgomeryAll of our area restaurants invite you to drop by and sample their creations.

But the multitude of choices can be daunting, so check out these popular eateries sharing the secrets of their “signature dishes.”

H

Sa Za Serious Italian FoodSa Za is a feast for the senses. See the bold colors, exposed brick walls and eye-catching artwork. Hear the energy in the open kitchen. Smell the herbs, spices and other fresh ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes. And taste authentic Italian masterpieces like Eggs in Purgatory, Stuffed Anaheim Hot Peppers as well as both traditional and specialty pizzas, many made from recipes handed down to the chef by his Italian grandmother. Traditional pastas are also a great choice. Join the crowd and try Sa Za’s best-seller, angel hair pasta with Maine lobster meat, chopped shrimp and spinach in a chardonnay, ex-ploded garlic and olive oil sauce. Or opt for Sa Za’s signa-ture dish: the Rigatoni Bolognese, which has a rich sauce made from carrots, celery, onion, veal, beef, pork and cognac that’s roasted for five hours before it is finished with heavy cream and served with rigatoni pasta. Downtown

The Deli at Alley Station

A wide range of traditional deli and comfort food favorites are blended with Southern flair, but the restaurant’s Rueben Sandwich takes the prize for signature dish. The Deli’s Reuben is a well-balanced blend of robust flavors, and it is a bit different from your average Reuben, using pastrami, a signature sauce and thick-sliced pumpernickel bread. Swiss cheese and sauerkraut top it all off. The Deli is also an easy pickup place for take-out foods, and its market has staples like bread and canned goods. You can even choose from its wide se-lection of import and domestic beers to create your own six-pack. Downtown

Chris’ Hot Dogs

For a bite of Montgom ery and a mouthful of history, grab a few napkins and get your hands around a hot dog from Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dex ter Avenue.

Dreamland BBQ

End your quest for the perfect ‘cue at Dreamland BBQ downtown, famous for its succulent ribs and delicious sauce.

Dreamland also offers the largest draft beer selection in central Alabama and has outside dining. Downtown

The Exchange

With world-class wines, beer and cocktails all served up in a swanky atmosphere that includes a covered patio complete with live entertain-ment nightly, The Exchange at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa could stop right there and still be a great place to kick back and hang out.

Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina

A long-time local favorite, the Capitol Oyster Bar recently moved to its new digs at The Marina bringing together delicious seafood, a come-as-you-are laidback atmosphere and some great live music all on a bluff overlook-ing the Alabama River.

Downtown

334-262-2339 • www.cantinatortillagrill.com

In 1937, a young boy named Hank Williams moved from Butler County, Alabama, to Montgomery with his Silver-tone guitar in hand hoping to make it big. He performed a few songs in a small studio at WSFA radio where he had been hired to host and play on a new show. It was the first time his distinctive voice traveled the airwaves, but it would certainly not be the last.

Over the course of just 16 years, Williams created country music classics that have been hailed by critics and fans alike as some of the most important songs of all time. The catchy, sometimes tragic, lyrics he penned set to the simple melodies he crafted and sung resonated with many. And through the last six decades, his songs have influenced countless country music stars, as well as artists in other genres, earning him icon status.

During his short career, Williams racked up 11 No. 1 hits, and in 2010, the Pulitzer Prize Board recognized his contributions to our culture and awarded Williams

a posthumous citation in honor of his lifetime achievement as a singer and songwriter.

While his name is now known around the country and the world, Montgom-ery was the jumping-off point for his career and future success. Prior to his “15 minutes of fame” on WSFA radio, he won a talent show at the Empire Theatre in Montgomery (now the Rosa Parks Museum) and often shined shoes on the streets of downtown. Williams

frequented many Montgomery restaurants, and he was known to often write songs while sitting at the lunch counter in Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue.

Things came full circle in the end for Hank, bringing him home to Montgomery. Right before his untimely death in 1953 at age 29, Williams played in public for the final time at Montgomery’s old Elite restaurant. He and his wife Audrey are buried in the Oakwood

Annex Cemetery on the edge of downtown, both gravesites marked by giant granite music notes and Hank’s further embellished with a stone cowboy hat.

Today, you can visit the Hank Williams Museum to see the Cadillac in which he took his infamous last ride and to learn more about his life and his music, in-cluding the huge impact he has had on some of today’s brightest music stars.

Montgomery, Alabama, the capital city of the American South, is steeped in his-tory, has been tested by rebellion and is courageous and changing. What’s chang-ing today — and changing for the better — is the face of the city’s downtown and riverfront areas.

City leaders and local developers have a grand vision for the city’s center, and it began to take shape with the Riverwalk project along the edges of the Alabama River. The first phase was completed in 2003 and included the beautiful Riverwalk Amphitheatre and the adjacent Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Montgomery Biscuits baseball team. The Biscuits, the AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, provide family enter-tainment and fun for sports enthusiasts.

In 2008, downtown welcomed the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center, along with the adjacent 1,800-seat Montgomery Performing Arts Centre and a 9,000-square-foot European-style spa.

Across from the convention center complex, the new Alley Entertainment District, nicknamed “The Alley,” was unveiled in the spring of 2009. This high-light of the city’s continuing downtown revitalization is framed by Commerce, Bibb, Coosa and Tallapoosa Streets and was recently featured in Southern Living magazine. It includes both casual and fine dining (Dreamland BBQ, Sa Za’s Serious Italian Food and Cantina to name but a few), specialty boutiques and nightlife spots. In addition, thanks to some fabulous new loft apartments and office spaces, new tenants now call The Alley home.

Just one block from The Alley, the Harriott II Riverboat cruises guests along the Alabama River. This newest addition to the downtown and riverfront rebirth began ferrying folks in 2009 and has definitely exceeded expectations. The majestic riverboat is a unique special events venue that can accommodate up to 400 passengers and is capable of hosting multiple parties each evening.

In the middle of all the action is the Montgomery Area Visitor Center in-side Historic Union Station. Guests can catch an automated trolley tour or pick up “made in Alabama” souvenirs from the Stop at Union Station.

There’s even more excitement on the horizon too. Plans for a walking trail that will include multiple civil rights muse-ums and sites as well as other downtown historical attractions are now underway.

With all of these changes and others to come, Montgomery is quickly becoming a hot spot for groups, conventions and meetings, and family travel. For more information on the downtown and river-front development or to find things to do and see in the city and surrounding River Region, please contact the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitor Bureau at 334-261-1100 or check out www.visitingmontgomery.com.

The Beat Is OnIn Montgomery, the heart of the city is beating strong again.

Prattville, AL 36066334-285-1114

As the closest RTJ course to the capital city, Capitol Hill boasts three 18-hole Championship courses, appro priately named The Senator, The Legislator and The Judge. Each is unique. The Senator offers a traditional, Scottish-style layout; The Legislator lets you play among the pines; and The Judge offers unrivaled natural beauty, with 12 of its holes bordering the Alabama River. Capitol Hill hosts the Navistar LPGA Classic each fall.

Golf: In the Swing of Things

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is regularly ranked by national magazines like GOLF and Golf Di-gest as some of the best and most affordable public golf anywhere in the country. Visitors who’ve been bitten by the golf bug are lucky: three of the stops on the famed trail are within an hour’s drive.

Drink It All InDon’t miss Montgomery’s most happening spots:

• Toast the sunset on the river’s edge with a tangy and tart margarita at the Capitol Oyster Bar at The Marina.

• Relax in the spacious covered outdoor area and sip a tasty Bellringer at the Exchange Bar. In the 1800s, Free-ney’s Bell Tavern occupied the corner where the Renaissance now sits. Today, a replica of Freeney’s Bell hangs at the Exchange Bar and chimes daily at 5p.m. signaling the end of the workday.

• At AlleyBAR, the action heats up when you get cold. Don a faux fur coat (in a situation-appropriate “alley cat” print) and enter the city’s only frozen shot room, where your drink is served in a shot glass made of ice.

• At La Jolla, ask for the French Martini, a sophisticated blend of vodka, raspberry liquor and pineapple juice topped with champagne.

The Seeds of Something GoodMontgomery’s urban farms are growing more than fresh fruits and veggies;

they’re growing a good time too.

Ag-ri-tour-ism [ag-ri-toor-iz-uhm] Letting visitors experience the simpler side of life and authentic, wholesome foods by introducing them to farming activities and culture.

The spring of 2011 saw the first flush of life at a brand new farm. But it’s not just any farm. The adjacent landscape is by no means pastoral. The surrounding sky is framed between office buildings and parking decks. It’s the Hampstead Institute Downtown Farm, an urban farm that opened in downtown Montgomery in April 2011, becoming the capital city’s second urban farm. The other is located in the Hamp-stead community and opened in 2009. Both locations offer residents and visitors the chance to connect with the area’s agricultural heritage, its natural resources and a wealth of farm-fresh food.

An old red caboose that’s been re-purposed to serve as resi-dent farmer’s office marks the front of the Downtown Farm. This 2.5-acre, all-natural, community farm provides fresh, local produce for area restaurants, educates resident and vis-iting school children and provides a welcome punch of green to the city’s center. Future plans at the Downtown Farm call for a greenhouse that will extend the growing season as well as an expansion of the current cooking and organic garden-ing classes held throughout the year.

Hampstead Farms, the city’s first urban farm, is a 3-acre oasis embedded in the Hampstead neighborhood and hosts many entertaining and educational events, including Hampstead Sprouts, a series of classes for kids that teach basic garden-ing and farming skills, nutrition and more.

Both farms were created by The Hampstead Institute, a

non-profit organization that promotes sustainable growth in the city and surrounding areas. The farms are tools to tout the benefits of eating locally grown, in-season produce, and they do so with multiple annual events including classes for k-8th grade kids; hands-on planning, design and building workshops; behind-the-scene project tours; and nutrition programs. The annual Farm-to-Fork Food Invasion, a culi-nary festival featuring guest chefs cooking the bounty of the farms, is held each fall at Hampstead and is a local favorite.

Visit each of the farms to check out the their working windmills, a children’s learning area, wildflower plots and urban chickens (downtown) as well as a sunflower field and pumpkin patch (at Hampstead in the fall) in addition to their production beds growing everything from tomatoes, peppers and okra to broccoli, kale and herbs. Then take some of the harvest home by visiting the Montgomery Curb Market in the summer or stop by the Farm Stand at the Downtown Farm to buy some of the recent harvest.

Find details on the special events held at both farms throughout the year at www.hampsteadinstitute.org

Get your copy before they’re gone at The Goat Hill Museum Store and The Stop at Union Station.

Cinda b. BagsIf you need a place to stow all your Montgomery shopping finds, get a pretty, functional tote or other bag made by nationally known designer cinda b. Find a variety of her products at hue studio inc. and Christine’s Feathered Nest.

Greenman CeramicsThese works of art created by Montgomery potter and professor Dr. Christopher Greenman are lovely combinations of texture, color and form. Find them at The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts’ Museum Store.

Home Base for HeritageMontgomery makes a great home base for exploring many important Civil Rights and Civil War sites.

Montgomery to SelmaMuch of the Civil Rights story can be revisited in Montgomery. But even more can be found along the National Civil Rights Trail. It commemorates the events, people and route of the 1965 Voting Rights March and links Montgomery to nearby Selma. Once in Selma, tour compelling sites like the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church & king Monument and the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Montgomery to TuskegeeA day trip to Tuskegee offers a glimpse of heroism at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. Educa-tional accomplishments are also honored in Tuskegee at The “Oaks,” home of Booker T. Washington, and at the George Washington Carver Museum.

Change Born of CourageA single moment can transform the world. When Rosa Parks’ display of quiet courage sparked the Bus Boycott giving impetus to the Civil Rights Movement, Montgom-ery became the epicenter of a groundbreaking societal shift that would change our entire nation for the better.

Cradle of the ConfederacyIn the Winter Building on Dexter Avenue in a Montgomery that was barely four decades old, the orders to fire the first shot and embark on the largest armed conflict on American soil were signed and sent. Last year marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and there’s no better place to delve into its history than in the city where Jefferson Davis, first and only President of the Confederacy, was sworn in and resided. Stand on the star Davis stood on as he was sworn in on the State Capitol steps.

Moving Along in MontgomeryTake the HMMA Tour for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most productive

and innovative automotive manufacturers in the world that just happens to be in Montgomery.

They move in perfect sync, their precise movements mesmer-izing onlookers as they gracefully turn, twirl and dip. But this dance is not to be found at a performance put on by one of Montgomery’s accomplished ballet companies. Nope. You can catch this show at the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) facility during a plant tour.

Since it first started producing vehicles in 2005, over 95,000 people have taken the tour and watched as “dancing” robotic arms, robotic machines (there are 400 robots total in the plant) and Hyundai team members stamp, weld, screw, torque, paint, polish and finally, test thousands of Hyundai Sonatas and Elantras.

Set on 1,744 acres, the 3-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art plant turns out 1,300 cars each day in a process known as “just-in-time” manufacturing that ensures there’s not a minute wasted waiting for the previous task to be finished. It all begins with just a thin, plain sheet of steel that quickly, almost magically becomes a car door, thanks to a giant stamping machine. Next, robotic arms move together in a dizzying waltz to apply the multiple spot welds needed on each door. The process continues through the paint shop, the engine shop and the general assembly line.

While the robots do the heavy lifting, the people on the plant floor do the tasks that require hand-eye coordination. Skilled team members affix the doors, install interior parts on the cars’ bodies, each performing a very specific task at just the right moment to keep everything moving.

Hyundai vehicles are renowned for their durability and qual-ity, and the company’s commitment to continuing that quality is evident everywhere at HMMA, from the squeaky clean

facilities and the many inspections to the signage encourag-ing team members to, “Be the world’s best plant.” And when the car is done, it’s still not actually done. Every vehicle is tested on the plant’s 2.3-mile test track, and tested in every conceivable way.

The 1.5-hour tour encompasses all of this and more and highlights the science and art behind the production of 300,000-plus cars each year. Tour guides are friendly, funny and knowledgeable, making the tour a great addition to any Montgomery visit. Scheduled tours are held during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and in the evening on Thursdays.

Reservations are required, so visit www.hmmausa.com or call 334-387-8012 for more details and to reserve your spot.

The River RegionIn the middle of Alabama, this diverse area is a dynamic centerpiece of the state.

As its name implies, the Montgomery River Region is an

area full of rivers. Some are lazy, others fast flowing, but this confluence of water in Central Alabama has formed a section of the state that is known for many things. Encompassing everything from the natural beauty and rustic feel of rural landscapes and agricultural industries to high-tech manufacturing facilities, the seat of state government and a major Air

Force base, the River Region is composed of several dis-tinct communities, all boast-ing rich histories and exciting futures on the horizon.

The River Region’s commu-nities include: Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, the Town of Pike Road, We-tumpka and Tallassee. The region is growing quickly and is currently home to over 366,000 people. Discover the abundant opportunities that make them great places to live, work or visit.


Just as the Coosa River winds its way through Elmore County, blessing the area with its beauty and options for fishing, boat-ing and swimming, so too is a rich heritage woven into the pic-turesque landscape. The history of Native Americans, French and British settlers, Civil War soldiers, enterprising visionar-ies, hard-working farmers and more merge together to form a multi-layered mix of stories and scenes, legends and legacies. Today, the independent spirit that drove this region forward is still present and combines with sincere hospitality to make Elmore County, the fourth fastest growing county in the state, a pleasant, prosperous place to live or visit.

WHaT a BlaST!

On any given night in Alabama, you might get lucky and glimpse a meteor as it streaks across the Southern sky. But 83 million years ago, a giant meteor did much more than leave

a glowing trail in the dark. It struck the earth in Wetumpka, blasting through bedrock to leave an Impact Crater that is still clearly visible today. It is the only confirmed meteorite crater in the state and is considered one

of the best preserved in the world. While Wetumpka seems young in comparison to the crater, it celebrated its 175th birth-day in 2010, and as the county seat, the city serves as a focal point for all of the historical and outdoor attractions that define Elmore County, which also includes Millbrook, Tallassee and Eclectic.

to Wetumpka. This unique, prominent landmark was complet-ed in 1931 and is one of only two such structures in Alabama.

In the city’s heart, its charming downtown, guests can stroll to quaint shops, restaurants and historic homes and churches fol-lowing a self-guided walking tour. Downtown recently received a “freshening up” that preserved its architec-tural character while bringing its capabilities into the modern age. One can’t-miss stop on the walking tour is the Elmore County Museum. It provides a peek into the past with informative exhibits and local artifacts from the Civil War and other historical events.

Just south of Wetumpka, over 6,000 years of the area’s history are uncovered among the 165 acres of Fort Tou-louse/Jackson Park State Historical Site, located where the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers meet. Here, visitors can explore both French and American Forts, a Mississip-pian Mound site, wildflower fields and forests on the William Bartram Nature Trail, the museum and Graves House filled with archeological artifacts, and even get a tangible taste of yesterday’s traditions at the living history weekends held once a month.

Wetumpka’s idyllic charm has captured Hollywood’s eye three times. Its picturesque downtown area served as part of the setting for the movies “The Grass Harp” (1995), “The Rosa Parks Story” (2002) and

“Big Fish” (2003).

Just east of downtown lies an almost five-mile-wide meteorite crater which is the result of an 83 million-year-old meteorite impact. It is the only confirmed meteor crater in Alabama and is one of the best preserved in the world. The meteorite is estimated to have been 1,000 feet in diameter.

location’s close ties to Mother Nature. Wetumpka is appropri-ately known as the “city of natural beauty,” but in truth, the phrase could easily apply to all of Elmore County. The region is known for its scenic spots, many centered around the Coosa River. The Coosa’s importance to the area was first noted by the Native Americans who gave Wetumpka its name, which means “rumbling waters.” The river is the perfect place for fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking and is joined by the Tallapoosa River just below Wetumpka to form the Alabama River. Close proximity to two of central Alabama’s sparkling lakes, Lake Jordan and mammoth Lake Martin, is also a plus. Mountain biking or hiking through the 12 miles of forest hills and dales on the nationally known Swayback Bridge Trail are other popular pastimes that draw many outdoor enthusiasts to Elmore County. “Our lakes, rivers and beautiful land provide great recreational opportunities for our residents and visitors,” said Jan Wood, Executive Director of the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce.

BlooMING BEauTY

Tucked at the bottom of the Appalachian foothills, Elmore County boasts a mild climate that fosters a diverse array of plant life, and nowhere is this on finer display than at Jasmine Hill Gardens and Outdoor Museum. With 20 acres of bountiful blossoms and classical Old World ambiance, the gardens put on a fabulous floral show all year, along with an impressive collection of statuary representing the art and ideals of ancient Greece.

PlaYING aRouND

Thanks to The Wetumpka Depot Players, community theatre is a thriving part of the social and arts scene in the county seat. Adding culture to the area’s appeal, the Depot Players produce a variety of original plays, beloved Broadway shows, hilarious comedies and poignant dramas each year. Audiences enjoy them all in an intimate, 160-seat theatre in Wetumpka that was once an old grocery store, which the Depot Players bought and converted in 1999.

EVENT-Full

Elmore County moves at a more relaxed pace, but there is no shortage of things going on. Favorite annual events include The Coosa River Challenge, which incorporates river pad-dling, biking and trail running into a true test of will and strength, The Coosa River Whitewater Festival, Riverfest Festival and Christmas on the Coosa as well as Frontier Days and the French and Indian Encampment, both held at Fort Toulouse/Jackson Park.

BEauTIFul PlaCES & FRIENDlY FaCES

Despite the multitude of attractions and opportunities for out-door fun, it is perhaps Elmore County’s people that are her big-gest asset. Their easy smiles and warm handshakes welcome

visitors and newcomers from all over the world to experience the laid-back good life that they enjoy. “Elmore County still retains its small-town values. It is family friendly, relaxed and close-knit,” Wood said. “And there is a real sense of communi-ty and a genuine neighborly atmosphere. Yet we are still close to all of the conveniences and amenities of larger cities nearby, like Montgomery and Birmingham. We keep growing as more and more people discover this.”

CoNNECTED & CoMMuNITY-FoCuSED

Starting where Montgom-ery’s eastern side ends, the Town of Pike Road is a perfect snapshot of small-town life, offering pastoral scenery and a more leisurely pace that feels a whole world away, yet is only minutes from all that the capital city offers.

The Town of Pike Road is somewhat new; it was incorpo-rated as a municipality in 1997. But a thriving community has flourished in the area for over 175 years. The old and the new are inextricably intertwined in the Town of Pike Road. Today, the area is growing again, drawing new families, those

looking for both the peaceful appeal of days gone by and the excitement of a reinvigorated town with fresh ideas.

The Town’s sprawling meadows and woodland glens are dotted with over 35 unique neighborhoods, each with its own personality and including some of the region’s oldest settlements. The population of approximately 5,400 residents is diverse, with citizens across the demographic spectrum calling the Town of Pike Road home.

a PRouD HERITaGE

In 1815, the arrival of three families — the Marks, Mathews and the Meriwethers —marked the beginning of the Pike Road community. They took to the area’s fertile land and began farming and were joined by other families who did the same. Soon, a small but booming town sprouted up at the in-tersection of the highly traveled Pike and Meriwether Roads.

The Town of Pike RoadGood Neighbors

HA quintessential Alabama “hometown,” The Town of Pike Road welcomes all

to experience its well-blended mix of old and new.



a PRoSPERouS PRESENT

Its ability to attract such a variety of people is proof of its appeal, and perhaps the town’s biggest asset is its commit-ment to preserving the past while planning wisely for the future. Small family farms and equestrian facilities maintain the town’s ties to its agricultural roots, as new businesses and new neighborhoods come to the area, creating a harmonious mix of yesterday and today. “Our motto is ‘welcome home,’” said the Town of Pike Road Mayor Gordon Stone. “These words exemplify the spirit of this town and the feeling we try to convey to everyone who comes here to visit or stay.”

a PRoMISING FuTuRE

Since its incorporation, the Town of Pike Road has come full circle and is at a new crossroads — near the intersec-tion of Pike Road and Vaughn Road, which is the location of the new Town Hall facility. To ensure continued prosperity, the Town of Pike Road allows citizen input to determine its direction and drive it there. One major priority is now being realized. In December 2010, the town established a public school system, with the first school set to open in 2015. The town recently completed the first phase of its Natural Trail System that highlights the beauty of its rural landscape and connects neighbors, family and friends. Phase I is a four-mile stretch of multi-use trails for walking, running and biking. When complete, the system will have over 30 miles of trails and form a loop around the town.

The original Pike Road community, and then the Town of Pike Road, took its name from one of two major thoroughfares in the area, Pike Road. The road got its name from the toll or “pike” that travelers had to pay to use it.

Who knew?


Just 13 miles north of Montgomery, Prattville is a city with multiple personalities that work together to create a place that’s earned itself the name “The Preferred Community.”

The city was modeled after a New England village, yet has all the hospitality and warmth indicative of its deep-South locale. Although ranked as one of the fastest growing areas in Ala-bama, Prattville maintains a quaint charm, and its close-knit, small-town atmosphere belies the many metropolitan opportu-nities and modern amenities offered.

It’s a harmonious marriage of seeming opposites that’s made its residents swell with hometown pride and eager to welcome everyone to their special spot in Central Alabama’s River Re-gion. “Our neighborly feel and sense of place make Prattville such a great city to live in or just to visit,” said Jeremy Arthur, president of the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce.

a HISToRY oF INDuSTRY

In 1818, Autauga County was established, a full year before Alabama even became a state. The area got its big boost when in 1835, the city’s namesake, New Hampshire native and industrialist Daniel Pratt, bought nearly 2,000 acres at the fall line of Autauga Creek, the area that is now downtown Prat-tville. Pratt established a town and began manufacturing his cotton gins, and his company quickly became the foremost producer of cotton gins in the world. In addition to the gin fac-tory, Pratt established a sawmill, a gristmill, a cotton factory and an operation that produced sashes, doors and blinds. Pratt is widely considered “Alabama’s First Industrialist,” and as his enterprises prospered, so did Prattville. In 1866, after the Civil War, Prattville became the county seat, and Pratt was unani-mously elected the town’s first intendant (mayor). From these humble beginnings, the Prattville community has seen increas-ing growth and is home to almost 35,000 people today.

HProud of its past and enjoying its present, Prattville is looking ahead to even better times to come.



SIGHTS To SEE

Prattville’s original nickname is “The Fountain City,” thanks to its many artesian wells. Some have been capped, but there are plenty still offering up gallons of sweet, clear, mineral-rich water, and a few allow citizens and visitors to fill containers and take the water home. Find public artesian wells throughout the historic downtown area including a large well covered by a tin-roofed wellhouse located on Doster Road just past Stanley-Jensen Stadium.

It is history that’s flowing free at the Prattaugan Museum/Heri-tage Center. This circa 1840 Greek Re-vival home contains numerous interesting artifacts from the Pratt Family, as well as other items depicting the history of fami-lies who settled Autauga County. There’s also a public artesian well at this site.

Efforts to preserve heritage in the form of old homes and other structures resulted in the creation of Old Prattvillage. Property owners remodeled existing houses and worked with the Autauga County Heri-tage Association in relocating the historic Mims Hotel and Slaton House to the area.

Another preserved architectural treasure is Buena Vista, a circa1830 structure on the National Register of Historic Places. Legend has it that Andrew Jackson pat-terned the staircase at his home The Hermitage after visiting Buena Vista.

To fully explore the Prattville area’s natural beauty, Wilderness Park is a must-see. Giant oriental bamboo plants soar 60 feet to form a canopy in the sky. The bamboo competes with native trees and shrubs to form this most unusual area, which also contains Alabama’s second largest beech tree.

On the banks of the beautiful Alabama River, Cooter’s Pond Park features two boat ramps, docks, a riverwalk and pavilions. The name was taken from the Native American word “kutawh” meaning turtle. A popular, and usually quite productive, fish-ing hole by the same name abuts the park, which also features a “pick and eat” nut grove with pecans and other nuts available for sampling. The Park has been home to the BassMaster Elite 50 and many other local, state and regional angling events.

Another place that begs a visit is Prattville’s huge Bass Pro Shop, an outdoor enthusiast’s dream-come-true, with cascad-ing waterfalls, fish aquariums, a restaurant, fudge shop and retail space galore.

The Daniel Pratt Historic District in downtown has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. Pratt’s careful planning resulted in a pleasing and efficient layout of manufacturing, retail businesses, churches, schools and resi-dences. The rest of downtown retains much of this same feel

and has been reinvigorated in recent years, now boasting locally owned shops and boutiques, restaurants and more.

The Creekwalk is nestled along the banks of Autauga Creek and winds through a portion of the historic downtown area. Heritage Park offers a great view of Pratt’s dream showcased in the Autauga Creek Dam and the Pratt Manufacturing Com-plex, which is still in operation today as Continental Eagle.

THE GRaSS IS GREENER

World-class golf is played on the rolling fairways and picture-perfect greens at Prat-tville’s Capitol Hill, the crown jewel of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. An adjacent state-of-the-art conference center and ho-

tel, Prattville Marriott at Capitol Hill, offers excellent ameni-ties for business groups and individuals. The LPGA Navistar Classic golf tournament has been played at Capitol Hill since 2007. Last year, over 50,000 people attended the event.

Arthur outlined the reason behind his city’s enthusiasm about the future. “We are excited by our community’s unlimited potential and continued opportunities for growth,” he said. In-deed, Prattville is definitely “on the grow.” Yet, it is the linkage of its roots, its present success and a confident vision of the future that make Prattville the unique city it is. “There is no shortage of pride when we talk about Prattville,” Arthur said. “Combine our rich history, our quality of life and our focus on the future, and it all adds up to success. We are a community that is moving forward, and the best is yet to come.”


H

oN THE GRoW

Numbers don’t lie. And the numbers surrounding Millbrook, Montgomery’s neighbor to the north, are rising higher by the day. The city consistently ranks among the fastest growing cities in Ala-bama, with its estimated 2011 popula-tion of 14,639 in the incorporated area representing a 41-percent increase since 2000. An additional estimated 21,175 people reside in the surrounding unin-corporated areas and in the neighboring municipalities of Coosada, Deatsville and Elmore.

This influx of new residents has spurred unprecedented residential building in recent decades, which in turn attracted new commercial and retail development. City leaders are thrilled with Millbrook’s growth and diligently work to make sure that services meet and exceed needs. “I feel it is my responsibility as Mayor to ensure public services keep pace with the demands created by rapid growth,” said Mayor Al

kelley. Recent actions taken to achieve this include the construction in 2012 of a new facility to serve the police and court departments, a major utility infrastructure upgrade made possible by a grant, continued investment in city parks, development of a multi-lane corridor connecting the city’s northern and southern arteries, new vehicles and equipment for police and fire depart-ments, and expansion of street and maintenance services. “Experienced and knowledgeable city employees con-sistently show that they are equal to the tasks placed before them and deliver city services efficiently and profession-ally,” Mayor kelley added.

CoMMuNITY CouNTS

Yet numbers and building projects alone don’t tell Mill-brook’s real story or reveal its true essence. For most residents, the intangibles are more important and are best described by one word: “community.” According to Mayor

As more and more people discover the allure of the good life in Millbrook,

the community spirit of this close-knit city is flourishing

kelley, “Community is what ranks close to the top among those things that must be maintained. Community in Mill-brook is the kindred spirit, the thread that binds all of us together. It is the annual barbeques, parades and fireworks shows. For those who live it, breathe it and expect it, it is dear and important. This sense of community and the high quality of life it provides is also one of my responsibilities, and I take it very seriously.”

To ensure that community is not lost to growth and to main-tain the simplicity of a quiet, relaxing, safe and healthy life-style, the city readily invests in parks and recreation and civic facilities and venues. The city’s continuing support of local public schools and youth, which takes many forms including both in-kind services and financial contributions to building improvements and academic programs, further enhances the spirit of community.

ouT & aBouT

The great outdoors plays a prominent role in Millbrook’s quality of life, with nature’s beauty celebrated at six well-equipped and maintained public parks that provide recre-ational options for all ages. Ongoing improvements keep the Village Green, Millbrook’s oldest park, a popular community gathering place, and it is the venue for annual events includ-ing the Millbrook Farmers Market, the Spirit of Christmas Parade and the Mardi Gras Parade & Festival. The Pines mu-nicipal golf course welcomes experienced and novice golfers.

Multiple other outdoor activities are enjoyed at facilities at nearby lakes and waterways. The Alabama River is easily accessed from Highway 143, and scenic Lakes Martin and

Jordan are a short drive via Alabama Highways 14 and 143. Creeks meander throughout the city and public parks, and natural ponds dot the landscape in neighborhoods and on small farms.

The most significant asset in the Millbrook area is the Alabama Wildlife Federation (AWF). Its headquarters are located on the grounds of the historic Lanark estate only one mile from city hall, and there, AWF is building a top-notch conservation education facility called The Alabama Nature Center. Already in place are miles of diverse nature trails, a pavilion and exceptional programs and events for schools and the public including nature photography classes, garden-ing workshops, kids’ fishing rodeos and more.

Millbrook is dedicated to continuing the growth of the local economy and expanding outdoor activities. In recent years, the City of Millbrook and local sponsors, including the Ala-bama Wildlife Federation, the Millbrook Area Chamber of Commerce and the Elmore County Commission, hosted both the state and the national championship Crappie Masters fishing tournaments.

THE SuM oF THESE PaRTS

In addition to all of these attributes, Millbrook has easy access to Interstates 65 and 85, job opportunities and the additional services of nearby Montgomery. This combina-tion means Millbrook residents readily enjoy the best of all worlds. With so much to offer and much more to come, the essence of community in this city is only improving with growth.
