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...

Visit the Selma and Montgomery area attractions and the Lowndes County Interpretive Center that is strategically placed near the site of historic Tent City approximately midway between Selma and Montgomery, Alabama.
