The Tourism Bureau has several self guided tours that are perfect to
take during the fall and are available at the Visitor Center in the
Library, as well as the Centre for Commerce. We have a guide to
Downtown, a walking tour of Selma that begins and ends at the library
and a driving ghost tour of the “haunted” homes in Selma. I encourage
you to act as a tourist one day and learn something new about your
hometown. For example, did you know that Selma’s historic district is
the largest in the state, and the second oldest? To get a full tour of
Selma’s historic district, stop by the Visitors Center to get a copy of
our Windshield Tour or download it from the comfort of your home at www.SelmaAlabama.com by clicking on the Tourism Logo.
