Our Take on Alexander City, Alabama


Alexander City is a bustling community conveniently located in east central Alabama. It is the focal point for people whose routes include Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Columbus, Georgia. This is why the city, which prides itself in being called the “South’s Best Kept Secret,” has invested in various tourist attractions.

For those who are fascinated with history, then Alexander City is a great vacation destination to check out antique fire trucks, the Big Kowaliga Basin, the Martin Dam built in 1923, and the Horseshoe Bend Military Park.
