Discovering Montevallo

Join us as we explore the city of Montevallo in Shelby County!

We’ll begin right in the heart of town, exploring the beautiful campus of the University of Montevallo, before enjoying some delicious food in the downtown area. Next, we’ll take a stroll through one of Alabama’s most unique and famous city parks, with fun characters and fantastical artwork along the way. Then we’ll venture back into Colonial America at the American Village, where we’ll see what life was like during the American Revolution and the founding of our country. Afterwards, we’ll get into the outdoors and hike to a scenic waterfall, take a walk through a swamp, and cool off from the summer heat at a local creek. Finally, we’ll head a few miles east to Calera, where we’ll hop on a train to the Wild West of Shelby County, complete with outlaws, gunsmoke, and tons of fun! All this and much more on Discovering Montevallo!
