Montgomery is the capital of Alabama, a river city at the center of American history. The Alabama River bends past downtown, and the State Capitol stands on a hill above Dexter Avenue, where the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church served as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s church. The Rosa Parks Museum marks the bus boycott that began here, and the Civil Rights Memorial honors those who gave their lives in the movement. Beyond the history, Montgomery offers riverfront parks, a downtown entertainment district, and a museum honoring country singer Hank Williams, who lived and worked in the city.
