You press play at the Old Depot Museum and the city opens its pages: brick storefronts, a low-slung train platform, and the steady cadence of the Alabama River nearby.
The app pings as you move, cueing short, location-aware chapters that put you where history happened — outside St. James, across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, in front of the Dallas County Courthouse, and finally at Brown Chapel AME Church. The narration stitches eyewitness accounts, archival detail and civic context into a paced, walkable route roughly 1–1.5 miles long, mostly flat sidewalks and city blocks.
Selma’s streets tell a layered story: antebellum rail links and Reconstruction-era law, the rise of local Black churches as organizing hubs, and the 1965 voting-rights campaign that culminated in Bloody Sunday and the Selma-to-Montgomery marches. The bridge’s iron arches and nearby plaques are not just landmarks but acting witnesses — the tour lets the voices of marchers, organizers and local residents speak in place.
Practical edge: allow 60–75 minutes, start early in summer to avoid heat, and carry a charged phone with the WalknTours app installed and the unlock code 'mlk2780'. Wear comfortable walking shoes; sidewalks are generally even but can be narrow in spots. Be mindful at memorials — these are active sites of memory and civic ritual. Public parking and transit are available near the Old Depot, and the end point at Brown Chapel leaves you well-positioned to visit local museums or continue exploring downtown Selma.
