Cramton Bowl

Paterson Field is a baseball stadium in Montgomery, Alabama. The stadium, named after William Burns Paterson junior, has a maximum capacity of 7,000 people and was opened in 1949. Paterson Field has played host to, among other professional teams, the Montgomery Rebels, a AA-class minor-league team affiliated with the Detroit Tigers, and the Montgomery Wings, an independent minor-league team. The stadium is still in use today, having recently been used as the home field of Alabama State University, a Division I program that competes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. A majority of seating inside Paterson Field is metallic bleachers with a few rows of box seats. Roof coverings shelter the three sections of the park behind home plate. The concourse is entirely covered, and situated below the seating. The concourse also provides no views of the playing field. Its location is in the downtown Montgomery area on Madison Avenue, near its intersection with Hall Street and in close proximity to Cramton Bowl. The stadium affords no view of downtown Montgomery to the large majority of fans in the seating inside the park. Soon after its construction, Paterson Field was the home of several Montgomery minor-league professional baseball teams. Chief among these was the 1965–80 incarnation of the Montgomery Rebels as a Detroit Tigers affiliate. During their 16 years in Montgomery, the Rebels won five Southern League championships as the Tigers developed the nucleus of a club that would win the 1984 World Series, and future MLB notables such as Jack Morris, Lou Whittaker, and Alan Trammell played under Paterson Field's lights before becoming big leaguers. The Rebels moved to Birmingham, after the 1980 Southern League season, becoming the Birmingham Barons, while Paterson Field lay relatively dormant. Riding the wave of increased popularity in minor league baseball of any level, the independent All-American Association opened play in June 2001 with teams in six cities. With the city's population count reaching 200,000, Montgomery was a logical choice for a franchise, and the city heartily welcomed the return of professional baseball to Alabama's capital city. In 2001, the Wings were part of the All-American Association; when the league folded, the Southeastern League of Professional Baseball picked them up for the 2002 season. The Wings were brought back for a final season in 2003 before an affiliate team from the Southern League, the Montgomery Biscuits, took up residence in a new waterfront park, Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, which opened in 2004. Paterson Field was home to the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship from 1985 to 2004, after which the event was moved to Riverwalk Stadium.

Oakwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Montgomery, Alabama. Strictly speaking, it is two cemeteries, Oakwood itself that is owned by the city and the next-door Oakwood Cemetery Annex, the location of the Hank Williams Memorial and the graves of four governors of Alabama, which was in private hands until its owner died in 2004 without directing to whom the property should pass, ownership of which thus passed to the state of Alabama, although the Annex has been maintained by the city since 2009 and a proposal was put forward in 2013 to transfer ownership to the city.Partly sandwiched in between the two is the St Margaret’s Cemetery owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile. Until rectified in 2017, the Archdiocese had been accidentally burying Catholics on city property since 1863, the deeds to St Margaret's having been drawn up in the 1850s and the error not having been spotted in the 1863, 1945, or 1981 extensions but only when the records were checked for a fourth extension. In 2017 the Archdiocese swapped some of its land, on which the city had similarly placed an access road running on what had theretofore been thought to be city property in between the Archdiocesian and Annex cemeteries, for the city land that it had accidentally been using; redrawing the boundaries between the Archdiocesian and city property, expanding St Margaret's to cover 7.512 acres (3.040 ha), and returning existing gravesites to Catholic-owned land without the need for reinterrment.The cemeteries are accessed from Upper Wetumpka Road, with three entrances for Oakwood proper, St Margaret's, and the Annex in order along that road in the direction from the intersection of Ripley Street and Jefferson Street. They are close to Montgomery Police Station.

The First Baptist Church (also known as the Brick-A-Day Church) on North Ripley Street in Montgomery, Alabama, is a historic landmark. Founded in downtown Montgomery in 1867 as one of the first black churches in the area, it provided an alternative to the second-class treatment and discrimination African-Americans faced at the other First Baptist Church in the city. In the first few decades after its establishment the First Baptist Church became one of the largest black churches in the South, growing from hundreds of parishioners to thousands. Almost a hundred years later, in the 1950s and 1960s, it was an important gathering place for activities related to the Civil Rights Movement, and became associated with Ralph Abernathy, the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott, and the Freedom Rides of May 1961. The church was listed by the Alabama Historical Commission on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on May 5, 2000.

The Legislature meets in the Alabama State House in Montgomery.

The Dexter Parsonage Museum is a historic residence in Montgomery, Alabama. The house was built in 1912 in Centennial Hill, a middle- and upper-class African-American neighborhood. It was purchased in 1919 by the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church for use as their parsonage. It was the home of Martin Luther King Jr. and his family while he was pastor, from 1954 until 1960. In January 1956, during the Montgomery bus boycott, the home was bombed, focusing attention on the boycott and juxtaposing with King's non-violent methods. The house is a clapboard cottage with a pyramidal roof and gable on the south side of the façade. A full-width shed roofed porch runs across the front, and the entry door has diamond-paneled sidelights and transom. The interior was remodeled in 1966, but original mantels, mouldings and doors remain. During the remodel, the back porch was enclosed and converted to a second bathroom, and the kitchen was modernized. Much of the furniture is the same that was used by the King family. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
