Lowndes County Interpretive Center

When planning to visit the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, allow sufficient time to stop and see the sights, hear the sounds, envision the march, feel the tension, cross the bridge, follow the paths of the foot soldiers, and end in triumph...

Start your journey at the Selma Interpretive Center located at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the corner of Broad and Coosa Streets.

Next, visit other City of Selma attractions that blend and compliment the Selma Center. Then follow Hwy. 80 to the Lowndes County Interpretive Center that is strategically placed near the site of historic Tent City approximately midway between Selma and Montgomery, Alabama.

Afterward, meander along Hwy. 80 to Montgomery stopping along the way to visit each Trail marker that tells another tidbit of the march. When you enter Montgomery continue to follow the Trail signs thoughout the city to visit other historic civil rights sites.  End your adventure on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. addressed a crowd of some 25,000 people in support of voting rights for all.
