Southern Living says you should visit this ‘under-the-radar’ Alabama city

An Alabama city recently made a Southern Living list of “under-the-radar” places to visit this summer thanks to its rich history, unique attractions and more.

Montgomery was among the eight Southern cities on Southern Living’s list of under-the-radar places worth a visit this summer and the only Alabama spot featured in the article.

Southern Living credited the Alabama capital’s one-of-a-kind historical attractions focusing on the state’s role in the Civil Rights movement and more, including the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum, for earning its place as a summer destination.
