The Edmund Pettus Bridge is a historic bridge located in Selma, Alabama, known for its role in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. On March 7, 1965, a group of civil rights marchers, led by Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis, attempted to cross the bridge as part of a protest for voting rights for African Americans. However, they were met by state troopers who violently attacked the peaceful demonstrators in what became known as "Bloody Sunday."

The event gained national attention and ultimately led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, the Edmund Pettus Bridge remains a powerful symbol of the struggle for civil rights and is a popular destination for visitors to Selma. The bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2013.

For more information, call the Selma Interpretive Center (located at the foot of the bridge) at (334) 872-0509 or visit https://civilrightstrail.com/attraction/selma-interpretive-center/.

Gee’s Bend is a rural, isolated community of world-renowned quilters who are the direct descendants of enslaved people from the cotton plantation established by Joseph Gee. During the civil rights movement, the community used a ferry to connect people to Camden to register to vote. In retaliation, authorities eliminated the ferry service, isolating the community. But the women of Gee’s Bend came together to found the Freedom Quilting Bee, a workers cooperative. Today, this group of women’s works are displayed in leading art museums like the Smithsonian.

At the welcome center, you may be able to visit with a couple of Gee’s Bend quilters, see a demonstration, and purchase your own quilt. In addition to the acclaimed quilters of the Gees Bend Collective, you may find other Gee’s Bend artists demonstrating and showcasing their art.

Old St. Stephens Historical Park is a state park dedicated to preserving the history of Alabama's Territorial Capital. St. Stephens was the eastern most city of the Mississippi Territory and a very important site during the settlement of the southwestern frontier. At its height, c. 1820, the town boasted between two and three thousand residents and 450 substantial buildings. Upon Mississippi gaining statehood in 1817, Alabama became its own territory and St. Stephens its capital. From here was the beginning of Alabama. After the capital was moved away, St. Stephens declined rapidly to a ghost town.

Today, the town site of historic Old St. Stephens is one of the greatest archaeological assets in the state of Alabama. Because the town was abandoned and remained virtually undisturbed for over 100 years, the area provides unprecedented glimpses into the lives of pioneer Alabamians in the early 1800s. The park features the remains of the original town, a 70-acre quarry lake, and over 15 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. Accommodations include cabins, RV sites, and primitive camping. Visitors can explore the town's archaeological site, enjoy the sandy beach and fishing in the lake, and play disc golf on the 18-hole course.
