Huntsville, Alabama

A spectacular view form Monte Sano State Park near Huntsville, Alabama.

The Big Spring - a great watering spot for Indians and later pioneers heading West - was the reason for HUNTSVILLE'S founding more than 150 years ago.  It was here that President James Monroe attended ceremonies admitting Alabama into Statehood in 1819.  The mother of seven Governors and Rebel Raider, Gen. John Hunt Morgan, Huntsville is today best known as the center of the nation's guided missile development program at Redstone Arsenal.

Montgomery, Alabama

The Governors House Motel, on Montgomery, Alabama's Southern Bypass, connecting highways 85, 65, 231, 331, 31, 82, & 80 is master planned with all the luxuries of a private country club.  Golf, horseback riding, and swimming are listed among the outdoor activities.  The noiseless privacy of each guest room, the rare dining experience of the Filibuster Lounge make this truly a "stay to remember".
