Cultural Attractions
All-star attractions, fascinating history, and a supporting cast of colorful character. That's what you'll discover in Montgomery. In 1846 Montgomery was chosen as the state's capital city. In 1861, the eyes of the nation turned to Montgomery as Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederate States of America. Nearly a century later, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus and ushered in a new era of social change across the nation. In 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ended the Selma to Montgomery Civil Rights March on the capitol steps, a block away from the church where he began his career as a minister. In addition, the country's first electric streetcar began operating in Montgomery in 1866. And, in 1910, the Wright Brothers brought their daring aviation deeds to Alabama's capital city, establishing the nation's first school for powered flight. Today, Montgomery combines its seasoned performances with the more recent role of a leading cultural and recreational center, with world-class theater and museums sharing the act with history and down-home family fun. The Maxwell Ticket and Tours office has special discount prices available for many area southeast attractions.
