Where Montgomery's history gets a personality
If you're looking for stiff, scripted tours with headsets and laminated facts... this is not that.
If you're looking for a tour led by someone who actually loves being alive, knows downtown Montgomery like an old friend, and somehow turns history into a good time — welcome.
You're in the right place.
The people behind the buildings. The moments that shaped Montgomery. The side notes that somehow become everyone's favorite part.
History, but relaxed. We're not sprinting through the 1800s. We're savoring them.
Educational, but in a "you're actually going to remember this" way. No pop quizzes. Just good stories.
Experience Montgomery's 19th-century living history village through the eyes of someone who's made it her life's work.
Tootles is what happens when curiosity meets confidence and decides to stick around for 70 years.
As Special Events Coordinator at Old Alabama Town, she doesn't just give tours — she gives Montgomery's history the respect it deserves while refusing to make it boring.
"Free-spirited, sharp, warm. The kind of guide who makes everything run smoothly while acting like she isn't trying."
She doesn't lecture. She doesn't rush. She doesn't pretend she knows everything — she just somehow does.
There is no script. There is a plan — it's just flexible, because life is.
Weddings at Old Alabama Town
Family reunions with a history lesson
Corporate groups who "don't really like tours"
School groups that need to actually stay engaged
Visiting relatives who've seen it all (they haven't)
If it matters to you, she'll make it work. If it doesn't, she'll probably still make it fun.
Downtown Montgomery has layers. Tootles knows where they are.
Smart. Easygoing. Unexpectedly delightful.
