This morning the boys and I began our Historic Montgomery Tour, which we are going to do this summer. Our first stop was the Rosa Parks Childrens' Museum in downtown Montgomery. As we entered the museum we climbed into a time machine that took us back to the late 1800s. As we traveled up to 1955, we learned about Jim Crow laws, Dred Scott, Harriet Tubman, and of course Rosa Parks. Eli enjoyed the lights and sounds of the robot-driven time machine.
After we left the museum we decided our tour could only handle one more short stop before Eli needed a nap, so we rode down Dexter Avenue to the Alabama state capitol and toured the grounds.
Our Historic Montgomery Tour will continue all summer and include The First White House of the Confederacy, Old Alabama Town, the Governor's Mansion, and the Planetarium. We'll share it all with you!
