Fodor's Expert Review Old Alabama Town

Travel back 100-plus years along six blocks of restored structures that illustrate Montgomery life long ago. Elegant Victorian pieces furnish the central, circa-1850s Ordeman House, a contrast to the village's humble log cabin and simple church, school, and tavern. The Landmarks Foundation that runs the site found so many relics during restorations of 19th- and 20th-century buildings that it launched the nearby Rescued Relics, a nonprofit salvage warehouse offering historic architectural elements and materials.
