Arsenal Place

Arsenal Place, which leads into the Riverview neighborhood, has a distinguished entrance with posts on each side of the street.

The plaques on each post recognize Selma's contribution to the manufacture of munitions for the Confederacy and were placed in 1931 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Several thousand people worked in the facilities which were destroyed in the April 1865 Battle of Selma. Click on the photo to see a larger version.
