MontgomeryTop 10 Reasons to Visit

Feel the Pulse of Progress in the Heart of the South

Tour one of the country’s most historic capitol buildings, and check out the very first state archives department in the country at the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

Walk in the Footsteps of World-Changing Events

Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement. Sites like the First White House of the Confederacy, Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, Rosa Parks Library and Museum, Freedom Rides Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial and Center honor this rich heritage.

Savor the Flavors of the new & the Old South

Whether you’re hungry for some Southern-fried favorites or craving more-upscale culinary creations, Montgomery’s many eateries can satisfy any appetite.

Hunt for Treasures of Yesterday & Today

From stylish independent boutiques, eclectic gift and art offerings and antique shops to large national retailers, Montgomery has an extensive array of shopping options.

Make it Easy

Montgomery is centrally located in the Southeast, conveniently situated at the intersection of Interstates 65 and 85.

Bask in the Glow

Come on over; the weather’s fine! And so is the hospitality. The warm welcome and friendly smiles of Montgomery’s genuine people underscore the fact that manners matter here. Get ready to hear plenty of “thank you,” “ma’am” and “please.”

Have a Blast in the Riverfront Entertainment District

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

Stay in Style

The city boasts more than 7,000 area hotel rooms, a host of unique meeting venues and a state-of-the-art Convention Center.

Get Creative & Cultured

With arts institutions like the world-renowned Alabama Shakespeare Festival and The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, the capital city encourages creative expression of all forms. And places like the Hank Williams Museum celebrate and preserve elements of our culture that are unique to Montgomery.

Enjoy Some Family Time

The entire family will have a ball (and maybe learn a bit too!) exploring Old Alabama Town and The Montgomery Zoo or just rolling down the Alabama River aboard the Harriott II Riverboat.

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.

Turn to page 24to find more reasons to love Montgomery.



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 really says “Montgomery” to you?

“I love the juxtaposition of the old, like the Greek Revival state capitol, and the new, like the entertainment district, downtown. Montgomery has a rich cultural heritage as the birthplace of the civil rights movement, and you can celebrate by visiting museums and meeting people who had a seat at the table when history was made here.”

—Monica Allen, Group Sales Manager, Renaissance

Montgomery Hotel & Spa

What’s so special about the River Region?

“Our River Region is full of natural beauty with our scenic landscapes, abundant wildlife and rivers. We are also blessed to be in an area with a rich history spanning from the civil rights movement all the way to our diverse musical heritage. But the thing I like most about the River Region is the warmth and friendliness of our people and how well we treat each other and those that come to visit.”

—Larry Puckett, Chairman of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce

What’s your favorite Montgomery attraction?

My favorite thing to do is spend time with my wife Terrie and son Kolby enjoying our many local attractions. Last season, we enjoyed the play “Nacirema Society” featuring Jasmine Guy at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. We also like sporting events including Alabama State University football games and Biscuits baseball games. The best thing about Montgomery is the diversity of our local restaurants ranging from fine Southern cuisine to seafood and my son’s favorite: hibachi-style cooking!”

—Willie Durham with State Farm Insurance

What’s your favorite historic site?

“The beautiful First United Methodist Church in Old Cloverdale. This church has been an important part of my entire life. And the lovely park in front is the perfect place for a relaxed family picnic. In the summer, make use of the abundant shade provided by the mammoth live oak in the center of the park.”

—Carol Gunter, Public Relations Administrator

for the City of Montgomery

What is a good “romantic retreat” for couples?

“Enjoying a beverage at the Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina while watching the sun set behind the Alabama River is romantic, as is a quiet stroll down the Riverwalk.”

—Casey Vaughan, Public Relations Director

of the Alabama Dance Theatre

What is the best way to spend a summer/fall afternoon in Wetumpka?

“One of my favorite spots to wile away an afternoon is at the park on the Coosa River. This area offers beautiful views of the river and the trademark Bibb Graves Bridge. The city is now in the process of completing a master plan to develop a river walk area to truly take advantage of all the natural beauty.”

—Dennis Fain, President of the Wetumpka

Chamber of Commerce

What’s your favorite way to spend a Saturday in the River Region?

“I like to go to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. There is always something fun to do there, from the events they sometimes have to feeding the cute ducks.”

—Molly Mitchell, 6 ½ year old Town of Pike Road resident

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

The Deli at Alley StationFind delicious soups, salads, sandwiches at The Deli at Alley Station. This spot is everything a classic deli should be and more. Offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks to folks from all over the city, many of whom walk from nearby offices and businesses downtown, The Deli sources fresh, quality ingredients for everything on its menu.

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 selection of import and domestic beers to create your own six-pack. Downtown

nancy’s Italian IceIndulge your sweet tooth with a cool treat from Nancy’s Italian Ice. Choose from 12 to 20 diverse flavors of ice (the most popular are strawberry-lemon and mango), as well as soft-serve ice cream, cookies and cupcakes. Have the best of both worlds with Nancy’s Italian Ice’s signature dish, the Fancy Nancy. This palate-pleasing pleasure has tiers of Italian ice layered with tiers of ice cream.

Mr. G’s

Mr. G’s is known for the friendly service and consistent presence of its owner, Montgomery County Commissioner Dimitri Polizos. He can often be found making his way around the dining room, smiling and greeting customers, and even helping them decide what to order. While the menu is large and tempts you with offerings like lasagna, Greek salad, moussaka and pizza, Mr. G’s signature dish, the chicken souvlaki, cannot be overlooked.

Baumhower’s Restaurant

With two locations in Montgomery, Baum-hower’s Restaurants focus on freshness and fun. These casual, sports-themed restaurants feature an outstanding selection of Southern favorites. Steaks; fresh, local seafood; chicken platters; and, of course, buffalo wings are all available. Baumhower’s signature dish, the Black & White Chicken Platter, features a boneless chicken breast that is Mojo-marinated, char-grilled with lemon pepper and served with their world-famous White BBQ sauce. If you are visiting downtown, be sure to stop in their location in

the RSA Headquarters. 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. This legendary diner marked by the green-and-white-striped awning opened on May 1, 1917. It’s now being run by the second and third generations of its founding family. You can get a ham burger here, but the signature dish is a Hot Dog “All the Way,” a wiener drenched in Chris’ secret sauce, sau-téed onions and kraut. Downtown

The Tipping PointAlso in Hampstead in East Montgomery, The Tipping Point has something for everyone. This casual restaurant, coffee shop and bar has a playful and affordable menu inspired by some of America’s coolest cities. It also offers Intelligentsia coffee and teas, and a great selection of specialty beers and wines-by-the-glass, plus weekly live music and events. Order The Tipping Point’s signature dish, the Chicago Dog, an all-beef dog loaded with American cheese, kraut, peppers and mustard.

Dreamland BBQ

End your quest for the perfect ‘cue at Dreamland BBQ downtown, famous for its succulent ribs and delicious sauce. Feel free to “pig out” on some pork, but save a little room for dessert since Dreamland’s signature dish is its Banana Pudding, made fresh daily with all the right stuff—vanilla wafers, ripe bananas, fluffy whipped cream and creamy pudding—plus a secret ingredient that puts it over the top. 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. But wait… there’s more. They also offer a tasty menu to complement the bar with items like house-breaded Pecan Chicken Fingers with honey mustard, Blackened Fish Sandwich and the signature dish, Maryland Crab Cake Sliders, which are mini crab cakes served on snowflake rolls with Old Bay tarter sauce. Downtown

Ham and High

Offering only the freshest meat and produce from local farmers and artisans or from on-site Hampstead Farms, Ham and High recently received national attention when Food & Wine magazine nominated the chef as one of the Top 10 in the region. Food & Wine also named it “where to go next.” In keeping with this farm to table philosophy, Ham and High’s signature dish is its Gourmet Burger, a juicy hamburger dressed with Tillamook white cheddar, mush-rooms, caramelized onions, bibb lettuce and horseradish aioli on a house-made bun served with hand-cut fries and smoked ketchup.

Garrett’s

Just minutes from the Shoppes at EastChase, Garrett’s restaurant delights River Region diners with a menu that’s a mix of French, Creole and Asian flavors, and every dish is prepared from scratch with the best ingredi-ents. Savor the delicious dishes offered by this fine dining establishment in an elegant environment with stellar service. But the real magic happens back in the kitchen. Chef and owner Gary Garner is passionate about his profession, as shown by the fact that he named his eatery after his son. Showcasing his culinary artistry, Garrett’s signature dish is Grilled Prawns with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Bordelaise Sauce.

La JollaFind upscale, fine dining and stellar service at La Jolla, located in the Shoppes at EastChase. Executive chef Todd Batey has made it his mission to offer the best food in the city, and the restaurant’s signature dish goes a long way towards realizing that goal. The Braised Short Ribs are slow-roasted for six hours for melt-in-your-mouth tender-ness and then served over potato gnocchi and topped with a veal demi-glaze and fried onions. It’s all finished with a wedge of Stilton blue cheese.

Sinclair’s

This neighborhood favorite is welcoming, warm and as full of charm as it is flavor. Its moderately priced menu offers soups, crisp salads, heaping helpings of pasta, juicy steaks and more, but the signature dish at Sinclair’s is the Tomato Seafood Stack. Succulent shrimp, tender scallops and lump crab meat are paired with fresh tomatoes baked in a perfectly seasoned parmesan crust and finished with a delicate white wine cream sauce. Enjoy this delight at one of two Sinclair’s locations in the city: in the heart of Old Cloverdale or in East Montgomery on Vaughn Road.

(continued)

Roux

Nestled in the heart of Old Cloverdale near Montgomery’s historic Garden District, Roux is a new neighborhood restaurant blending classic Southern fare and Louisiana Creole influences for authentically American cuisine. Chef David focuses on a “back to basics” approach to cooking, celebrating regional flavors with food that is simple, flavorful and distinctive. Open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, cocktails and Sunday Brunch, Roux welcomes everyone to come and try its signature dish: succulent grilled Gulf shrimp and grits with farm-fresh veggies and candied bacon.

Country-music crooning legend Hank Williams frequented many Montgomery restaurants. He often wrote songs while sitting at the lunch counter at Chris’ Hot Dogs and enjoying a hot dog covered in the eatery’s tangy, spicy sauce. Before his untimely death in 1953 at age 29, he played in public for the last time at the old Elite restaurant in downtown. Stop by the Hank Williams Museum to learn more about his life and his music, including the huge impact he has had on some of today’s brightest music stars.

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.

Top 5 FreeFamily Fun Spots

There’s so much to do in Montgomery and quite a bit of it is yours for the taking. Check out these places that will entertain you and your family without requiring you to open your wallet.

Express YourselfLocated inside the Montgom-

ery Museum of Fine Arts, ARTWORKS is an interactive, hands-on wonderland where the world of the visual arts becomes child’s play. Visitors are encouraged to touch the art in ARTWORKS and to explore the many computers with a variety of art-related software. A mezzanine features an assortment of art-related books, games and puzzles. Admission to MMFA and ARTWORKS is free, but a donation of any size is always appreciated.

Capitol IdeaAlabama is a treasure trove of

history—some of it tumultu-ous, all of it interesting—and you can get an up-close-and-personal experience with the state’s multi-

faceted heritage by taking the free, guided tour of the State Capitol Building. Built in 1851, Alabama’s State Capitol Building is one of the only state capitols designated a National Historic Landmark and one of the oldest capitol buildings in the country. (And we think one of the most beautiful too!) The tour guides at the Capitol share a wealth of knowledge and insider informa-tion. Downtown

Splish SplashTake in the Alabama River’s

natural beauty with a visit to the Riverwalk. But when the tempera-

ture heats up, so does the fun level, thanks to the Riverwalk Splash Pad. Parents can chill out while the kids cool off—running, jumping and, of course, splashing among rising and falling jets of water. Downtown

Pure PlayYou’ll have a swinging good

time at any of Montgomery’s playgrounds (map on page 30), but the abundance of swirling slides, monkey bars and more at Kiwanis Park (downtown) and Vaughn Rd Park promise an afternoon packed with endless action.

Say MooTurn on the imagination with

the interactive exhibits and displays at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association’s MOOseum. Kids and adults alike will walk away with fresh perspective on Alabama’s important agricultural heritage. Downtown

While you’re downtown, stop in Tucker Pecan Co. and enjoy hand-dipped ice cream cones for a dollar, and sample the pecans while you’re there.

• 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.

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.

Listen & LearnTake advantage of The Civil Rights Audio Tour, a self-guided walking or driving tour of Mont-gomery’s Civil Rights sites. The program includes information about the places and people, featuring their voices. Visit the

Montgomery Area Visitor Center to get a walking tour CD.

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. This year marks 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.

What They Say

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 flow-ing, 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 indus-tries to high-tech manufacturing facilities, the seat of state government and a major Air Force base, the River Region is

composed of several distinct communities, all boasting rich histories and exciting futures on the horizon.

The Montgomery River Region’s communities include: Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, Town of Pike Road, Wetumpka 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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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 harmo-nious 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 feel-ing we try to convey to everyone who comes here.”

A proMISInG FuTure

Since its incorporation, the Town of Pike Road has come full circle and is at a new crossroads, near the intersection of Pike Road and Vaughn Road, 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 also started the first phase of its Natural Trails 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.
