The State of Alabama

Alabama is located in the Southeastern region of the U.S. and is home to a variety of landmarks and places full of history and entertainment. Montgomery is the state capital, although there are other major cities such as Mobile, Huntsville, and Birmingham, that hold interesting spots to visit.

History

Amazing historical information is displayed at several state locations. Alabama is well-known for significant historical events like the Battle of Mobile Bay and the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Because of this, the state is home to numerous locations where significant occasions occurred that essentially altered the course of American history. If you are familiar with the history of the civil rights movement, you can visit to understand why the state had such a significant influence on the movement. The Selma to Montgomery March, the Birmingham Riots, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, and even Martin Luther King Jr.'s incarceration, to name a few, were all significant events during the Civil Rights period.

When making travel plans to Alabama, make sure to include places like Alabama Constitution Hall Historic Park & Museum, Fort Morgan State Historic Site, Hellen Keller's birthplace, and house, Confederate Memorial Park, or the Bragg-Mitchel Mansion. Each of these places holds a familiar and distinct vibe and bears a mark of significant state history.
