Old Town Alabama is located in the downtown area of
Montgomery and is a collection of
restored 19th and 20th century building from
central Alabama that provide a visual history of how city, rural, rich
and poor lived during these periods. It
is mostly a self guided tour with information for each of the structures and
the era depicted. The structures are
divided into two sections-living and work.

Looks like a fun place to spend part of a day. I like seeing homes of people that lived so many years ago. We just finished seeing something similar in Bucharest that showed homes of people back around the same time period up to a few that were newer, say in the 1920's -40's. It's really an eye opener.

What a great tour. Amazing to see how folks used to live. And we live in an RV. Wonder what people will think of us in another 50 years.
Agreed, it looks like a great tour. We really enjoy these kind of museums. Haven't spent any time in Montgomery, but I think a nice cool day touring around is in our future! Thanks for the post.
Egads. We missed this entire area. Thanks for all the photos and wonderful tour. Looks like a fun-filled day of exploring.
Just love these little old towns and seeing how people used to live.
There are so many beautiful little towns with so much history. I wish we could see them all! This one looked like a gem.
Quite a find! Nice tour of the place. :c)
