I have been wanting to stop and check out The First Capital Of The Confederacy and even though it was night time, it was still a really neat and cool visit!

Beautiful grounds, but the building is pretty bland as far as capitol buildings go. Only way to see inside it is on a tour. Our guide today, Aroine, was incredible...not just a job to this guy...he knows his history and presented it well. Beautiful arch of state flags with local marble name stones. Dont miss the huge memorial statue.

Completely free and was a nice place to check out the history of Alabama. The gift shop there was nice but when the lady says she is closed until 2pm she means it so dont be opening that door or youll get in trouble =)

On Sunday, June 26th, I attended the ceremony for the Honorable John Lewis. It was moving to be able to witness him in the State Capitol. God bless you, Sir John. We will never forget the struggle, and we are still keeping our eyes on the prize.

I was unable to take a tour of the inside. I got there late in the evening and was only there for one day. I immediately went to the area and was able to take these photos. Its a beautiful area with lots of historic buildings.

So far it is the most beautiful State Capitol we have seen in person. Unfortunately we did not have enough time for a tour but did enjoy the outside views

Capital was nice but the city of Atlanta sucks. The people are rude and the streets are a nightmare. Especially around the aquarium.

Highly recommend this. Hopefully youll be lucky enough to get a tour by Mr. Irby, a historian that actually marched with MLK. We really enjoyed our time with him.

Beautiful capitol, on our Capitol tour we saw history...we stayed in our RV in Selma and drove the same route taken by Matin Luther King in the sixties on the March to Montgomery...after our tour we met this guy..I told him I would put him on FB in our group and he would be famous...he laughed and said I am Christopher Columbus...he had me there..

Worst experience with a class field trip by the officers at the capital building. We had this trooper with the little man syndrome grab a special needs child by the arm and made this child walk back up a flight of stairs and come back down because he didnt us the handrail properly. Im sorry but isnt that the responsibility of the teachers and his parent that was present to dow. I will never be ok with a person regardless of there standing or position to put there hands on a child for any reason. Dont get me wrong I understand the importance of doing something safe but after the child was already at the bottom of the stairs safely, to make him do it again seems to be the unsafe thing to do. Great job Alabama Troopers. What a way of keeping our capital safe, by demeaning small children even those with special needs. Needless to say Im very disappointed with the lack of respect we received being the sole reason that any one person there even has a job. Just a small review on how our supposed to be special field trip went.

If you are in the area stop by and see our Capitol. Its a beautiful building and so much history. The landscape is beautiful around the Capitol so dont forget to walk around and see all the statues and camilla bushes. If you are in the area then stop by and check this place out.

This is the friendliest capitol I have visited. When we first came to the entrance Treasurer Young Boozer stopped to say hello before we went inside. He gave us a few tips and told us to visit his office for free Alabama lapels. Several staff members inside the Capitol greeted us and invited us into their offices. The Senate and House chambers are no longer used in the capitol but setup as they were the 1800s and 1985 and preserved for public viewing.
