Alabama Historical Tours

Four old Montgomery friends recently went on a 2-hour tour of Montgomery with Dr. Richard Bailey, Pres. Of Alabama Historical Association. We gained insight, knowledge, perspective while we were enthralled in and by his factual stories and encounters in Montgomery. We saw Montgomery from a broader view, both physically and intellectually. He is a treasure and his tours are, also.

I read about Richard Bailey giving tours on AL.com. I scheduled a 2.5 hour tour for 4 people in October, 2024. All four of us were spellbound by Dr. Bailey's knowledge and enthusiasm for us learning about Civil Rights in Montgomery. He gave us detailed information (who sat where during the Rosa Parks trial), and never failed to give us the date, as he explained the answer to any question we asked. He introduced us to people and places you will never find on a conventional tour. His depth of knowledge is outstanding. Highly recommend his services!

Richard Bailey was incredibly knowledgeable on the history of the Ben Moore Hotel and the wider history of the Black community within Montgomery, the civil rights act, its leaders and African American struggles at the time. He was a pleasure to work with and brought a professional and great attitude.
