The winding walkway through Riverfront Park

gave some Selma visitors a welcome respite

from the downtown crowds of this past weekend's

Bridge Crossing Jubilee.

A Place to Sit in the Sun

These benches along the riverwalk are perfect for catching some sun,

especially on cool days when warmth is welcome.

Someday an Amphitheater

Someday, this former warehouse will be an amphitheater in Selma's Riverfront Park.

Work continues to renovate the historic riverside building

and give new life to the area next to the walking trail.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
