LOCALMONTGOMERY GUIDE

A Civil Rights Weekend in Montgomery

A two-day route that gives the major sites enough time instead of turning them into drive-by stops.

1

Day 1 morning

Begin at the Legacy Museum and allow at least several hours. Follow with Montgomery Square and a downtown lunch.

2

Day 1 afternoon

Walk Dexter Avenue toward Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church and the Alabama State Capitol. Read the street as one connected landscape.

3

Day 2 morning

Visit the Rosa Parks Museum and build time around the bus boycott story, then connect that history to other downtown sites.

4

Day 2 afternoon

Use the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and Freedom Monument Sculpture Park as deeper context rather than as an afterthought.
