On this three hour WALKING AND RIDING adventure around the "Magic City" we'll hit the historical highlights of Birmingham, AL. We'll see the best of what this town has to offer and taste a few local treats along the way. To start, we'll set our sights on the original rail lines and discuss Birmingham's origins. From there we'll make stops to learn about Birmingham's baseball history, the Civil Rights Movement and when the city was "The Industrial Capital Of the South." We might even head over to Legion Field, site of some 1996 Olympic soccer, or futbol, matches and Rickwood Field, oldest ballpark in America.

We took the Fight for Rights tour and I can't recommend it highly enough. Our tour guide was Clay who was a wealth of information, not only about Birmingham's sorted past but also about the Civil Rights movement in general. I also appreciated the knowledge he shared about Birmingham's economic history and how that has contributed to what Birmingham is today. This is a must experience for anyone who is interested in understanding how our country has devolved into the partisan battleground that currently defines us.

Clay was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, its history, and every topic that came up relating to the sites we visited, whether it was the city, its architecture, the iron industry, baseball or peanuts! Terrific tour.

Clay works very hard making the history of Birmingham pertinent and understandable. I would highly recommend a tour with Red Clay Tours.
