Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, AL is a favorite destination for music fans. He is a treasure to the City of Montgomery and the State of Alabama, and we are paying tribute to the life and accomplishments of this magnificent legend whose name survives in a way that is unique in the history of Music. It is amazing after so many years that there are still things to be said...song to be sung. Year by year since Hank's death in 1953, the real impact his songs made on American Music becomes more evident. His lifelong fans continue, and new admirers are added with each generation. Hank Williams crowded a lot of living into twenty-nine years. It is safe to say, perhaps Hank Williams said all he had to say. We are proud to say that all of the artifacts are authentic. Exhibits include the 1952 Cadillac in which he died, 17 stage suits including Nudie , custom made boots, cowboy hats, tie collection, furniture, portraits, records, horse saddle, piano,awards, rare photos, family history and personal film footage. Experience the history of the first country music superstar and see how Hank Williams transformed country music and sowed the seeds of what was to become American Music, blues, rockabilly and even rock and roll.See more..

4.5Anniston Museum of Natural History(176 reviews)from $23.00 - Sunday, October 2nd visit. Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Natural History Museums
My wife and I arrived around 1:30pm, with the museums opening at 1pm. I have wanted to visit this museum for decades. I am sorry that I put it off for so long. It is a great museum. The ladies working at the front desk were wonderful. A joy to visit with, and quite helpful. A good start to our afternoon. We pretty much had the museum to ourselves. Any description of the exhibits would not do it justice. You have to experience it to get it. It seems like a hidden gem. Anniston should feel so lucky to have such a wonderful museum. And the cost to enter is inexpensive. We bought the AM&G Passport ticket, to gain entrance to both museums. I am so glad we visited, and I would visit again.See more..

My wife and I arrived around 3pm, after already visiting the wonderful Anniston Museum of Natural History. Right next door. We bought the AM&G passport ticket, allowing us entrance to both museums. The young woman working the front desk at the museum was so very nice, just like the ladies we met next door. This young woman was a joy to visit with. So friendly, informative, and helpful. And just like next door, a great start to our visit. And just like next door, this museum was wonderful. And again, hard to explain how it was such a nice place, but they had so many fascinating objects and displays. Amazing how much was located within the building. We were in awe of the items on display. I would absolutely visit again.See more..

During the Civil War, this depot was a prison for captured Confederates and a hospital for the wounded.See more..
If you go to the Lowndes Interpretive Center first (like we did), then you’re unlikely to get too much new information. Selma is really a very brief stop. The center is a single room and if you’ve come to see the bridge then you can do so quickly. Having said that, the trip overall is certainly one that is worth taking.See more..

It goes without saying that this is essential education for every individual growing up in the United States. This is a small museum, and very underfunded, but overly impactful and it's educational acumen and emotional reality. You learn a lot here, and yet I was simply most impressed by the jellybean jar. You can actually see in touch what he did to us,See more..
We were driving from Montgomery to Selma and needed a rest stop. Saw the signs for this interpretive center run by the National Parks and pulled over. What an incredibly well done interactive exhibit. You start off with a 25 minute film that is so informative and well done about the historic walk from Selma to Montgomery. When the film is over the side door opens that welcomes you into the exhibit. Lots of information and hands on exhibits. The walls are filled with quotes, the sculptures are striking and life sized, there was even an exhibit that replicated the inside of one of the tents in the tent cities set up along the walk. If you can handle the Alabama heat there is also a large outdoor walking path that simulates the tent city as well. It was 100° and we are from the north so we couldn’t handle it!! The parks official that was on site was very welcoming and knowledgeable.See more..
4.5Negro Southern League Museum(51 reviews) - Delighted to find this attraction in Birmingham, AL Saturday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • History Museums
We are doing college tour visits in & around the South and found ourselves with half of a day to further explore the city of Birmingham. We first tried to go to Birmingham Civil Rights Institute but we couldn’t buy tickets online, the last box office tickets sold at 1:45: place closed at 3. Then we tried to go to Arlington Antebellum home but it’s more of a house and garden tour vs. a true plantation so that got nixed. Then tried to go to the Birmingham Zoo but it was closed. We found ourselves at the Negro Southern League Museum which was perfect! It combined our desire to see more about civil rights in this town + our love of baseball. It’s also situated right next to Regions Field where the Birmingham Barons play and where we were headed for an evening game. We highly recommend this attraction!See more..

4.0Hank Williams Boyhood Home and Museum(45 reviews) - Interesting stop in Alabama Saturday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums • Historic Sites • History Museums
We saw this on trip advisor, and decided to stop in. It is a house with about 6 rooms on first floor, in a residential neighborhood. It does have free parking. There are items, hanging on walls and on shelves throughout. The lady at the front desk was full of information, maybe even more than the museum itself. We did have trouble understanding her at times . We could, though, see she was very passionate about this place. Hopefully Hank Jr will visit it someday. See more..

5.0Equal Justice Initiative(29 reviews) - Ouch! This is incredibly moving as well as shaming.... Spent 1-2 hours History Museums
the fact that people treated (and continue to treat) others who are just different fr/ them is downright absurd. This "museum" (more of an audio-visual experience) pounds that into you. The problem is that those who really need to understand what this place is trying to offer are the ones who will never step foot in the door.See more..

There are several museums in the area, but this one has a strong focus on archaeology.

A must see for the ExploreTraveler.com team.See more..

4.0Alabama Museum of Natural History(5 reviews) - Loved it! Great for those wanting an easy to digest course in geology Spent 1-2 hours Natural History Museums
This small, but focused museum is absolutely worth your time. Reading the labels offered a straightforward, crash course in geology. It also contained some interesting locally sourced fossils. Example: a 60 foot Basilosaurus (toothed whale ancestor) hung from the ceiling. There were many touchable items like trilobites and a mammoth tooth. While clearly meant for children, I touched each and every one. A glass beehive offered a glimpse into their working lives (workers entered and exited via a transparent plastic tube). Apparently, honey bees reach adulthood in 16-24 days. Honey collected onsite is available for sale in the gift shop as well as a good selection of introductory geology books.See more..
Our group visited Fort Mims recently. This site is so very important to Alabama history.

There is no charge to visit the fort site. We also visited the local museum in nearby Stockton, and enjoyed lunch at the Stagecoach Cafe. See more..
