About the Activity

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.
