Selma sites offer tours for one dollar


Selma and Dallas County Tourism has partnered with seven Selma attractions to offer a low price to tour the sites. On July 12 and 13, visitors will have a rare opportunity to tour seven Selma sites for only seven dollars.





The following sites are included in the event:
Old Depot Museum
Ancient Africa, Enslavement, and Civil War Museum
Selma Interpretive Center
Sturdivant Hall Museum
National Voting Rights Museum & Institute
Old Cahawba Archaeological Park
Vaughan-Smitherman Museum

On July 12, visitors will be able to tour six of the seven sites between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Once visitors have toured the first six sites, they will receive a pass for a wagon tour at Old Cahawba for July 13. They will also be entered in a drawing to win a gift basket of “Selma stuff”, which includes various items made in Selma and unique gift items from each museum. The drawing will take place on July 12 at 4:00 p.m. at the Old Depot Museum. Visitors must be present to win the gift basket.

Tickets for the event are available at the Centre for Commerce, 912 Selma Avenue, from June 30 to July 11.

For more information, please call Ashley Mason at 334-875-7241 or email tourism@selmaalabama.com.
