Alabama 1940s in color, Montgomery, Fayette , Wetumpka [60fps,Remastered] w/sound design added #Vide

I colorized, restored, and sound-designed, This rare footage offers a vivid look at everyday life in Alabama during the 1940s, filmed across Montgomery, Fayette, and Wetumpka. It captures the atmosphere of Southern towns at a time when daily routines were shaped by local traditions, small businesses, agriculture, and close-knit communities. From city streets to quieter rural scenes, the images reflect a slower pace of life, characteristic architecture, and the social customs of mid-20th-century America, preserved here as a valuable visual record of the era.
