Located in the center of Alabama, the charming town of Calera is an ideal choice for those seeking the perks of urban life with a small-town feel.

It’s home to the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum, a must-see for anyone interested in locomotives or those looking for an alternative way to explore the area aboard one of the running cars.

Wine lovers will be delighted by the selection of wines available at Ozan Winery & Distillery, while outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the trails at the Ebenezer Swamp Ecological Preserve.

Due to its central location, Calera is also a hop, skip, and a jump away from all the major attractions at Birmingham and Montgomery. It’s also a great place to base yourself if you want to explore more of the surrounding area.
