Montrose is one of the smallest, quietest corners of the Eastern Shore, but it still has a few worthwhile ways to spend an afternoon while your laundry gets picked up, washed, and folded:
- Tolstoy Park (the Henry Stuart House) — Stop and see this curious, National Register-listed round concrete cottage, hand-built in the 1920s by an English hermit and later the inspiration for the novel The Poet of Tolstoy Park.
- Montrose Historic District — Take a slow drive or walk through this National Register-listed district of historic homes and moss-draped oaks.
- Mobile Bay Waterfront — Montrose sits right along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, making it an easy, quiet spot to catch the sunset over the water.
Or skip the outing altogether and enjoy a little downtime at home—either way, your laundry will be ready right on schedule.
