Best things to do in Alabama
Alabama Essentials
Alabama’s landscape preserves the history of the American South, from the Mississippian culture at Moundville Archaeological Site to the state's role in the 20th-century space race at the Redstone Test Stand. In Montgomery and Birmingham, sites like the 16th Street Baptist Church and the Civil Rights Memorial Center document the struggle for equality.
