Add Montgomery’s Freedom Monument Sculpture Park to the list of places you need to visit in 2025.

The park — which honors the lives and memories of 10 million Black people who were enslaved in America and celebrates their courage and resilience — is featured on Southern Living’s list of The 25 Best Places To Go In The South In 2025.

Overlooking the Alabama River, the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park opened last year, and it is the third component in the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Sites in Montgomery, joining the Legacy Museum, which examines the history of slavery and its aftermath, and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, an outdoor memorial to victims of lynching that opened in 2018.

The centerpiece of the 17-acre sculpture park is the 43-foot-tall, 150-foot-long National Monument to Freedom, which includes the surnames of more than 120,000 former slaves.

Visitors also may go inside a train car like those used to transfer enslaved people to Montgomery while they hear trains pass on nearby tracks that were originally laid by enslaved people, according to the park’s website.

The park also includes sculptures created from bricks made by enslaved artisans.

Here is what the Southern Living writers had to say about the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park:

The Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice opened in the first capital of the Confederacy in 2018, drawing people from all over the world. The site, which documents the legacy of slavery in America, uses first-person narratives, art, educational exhibits, and interactive media to tell a comprehensive story. Now the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park finds yet another way to illustrate our country’s fraught history—through large-scale sculptures. The site lies on 17 acres along the Alabama River, a waterway that facilitated the passage of tens of thousands of enslaved workers. Visitors can step inside original plantation dwellings, as well as into replicas of train cars used for human transport. The National Monument to Freedom, the park’s central feature, pays homage to over 4 million formerly enslaved people who won freedom after the Civil War.

Other places to visit on Southern Living’s 2025 list include the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Preservation Hall in New Orleans and the Horizons District in Oklahoma City. To read the complete list, go here.
