With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Montgomery, 19 miles away, has to offer. Montgomery Performing Arts Centre, Montgomery Zoo and Cramton Bowl alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t skip Selma either! Just 20 miles away, Edmund Pettus Bridge, Museum of Slavery and Civil Rights and Brown Chapel AME Church are must-sees here.
