Mary Anne Neeley, gone a year!

    Montgomery historian (and all-around great person) Mary Ann Neeley died one year ago tomorrow at the age of 85, and efforts continue to preserve her legacy.


A neighborhood park near her home now bears her name.


The neighborhood added a fountain to the park, and when I visited Tuesday afternoon there were a number of people using it. 




Ms. Neeley wrote a guidebook to Old Alabama town, which is available in local shops and online.

I was fortunate to have interviewed her several times. She was an amazing historical resource for Montgomery. RIP!

  1. Yes, she was indeed a great person. I enjoyed talking with her occasionally. My wife and I lived at 1431 Magnolia Curve, which overlooks the park.

    Glad to see that she is honored this way!
