Visited the museum in July 2013. Fascinating equipment, photos, and items of historical significance. Look forward to seeing what modernizations, currently being implemented, will allow visitors to see.

"The Old Depot Museum is located at the old L&N Railroad Depot at the end of historic Water Avenue in downtown Selma, AL. The Depot was built on the site of the Confederate Naval Foundry which was destroyed by Federal troops during the Battle of Selma in 1865. The red brick, stone trimmed building of Romanesque Revival architecture was built in ca. 1890. It is one of 12 railroad depots in the Southeast designated by Southern Living to be of architectural and historical importance. The building is a contributing property to Selma’s “Water Avenue Historic District” that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Old Depot Museum is an interpretive history museum that has an impressive collection of artifacts and memorabilia depicting life in Selma and Dallas County from the days of the pre-historic Indians who lived in the region, to the time before and after the Civil War, and up through America’s days of the Civil Rights Movement."

Visited on a Friday. Not at all busy. Shady parking adjacent to Museum. Well maintained grounds.

Curator awesome. Plenty of variety

I had a great time. The museum is mostly about the confederate country during civil war times, if I were a confederate supporter then I would be proud. But the tour guide let me roam freely an spend as much time an take as many pics as I liked. She also had a pet raccoon which was awesome. I give it 3 stars because it could use some funding, and it was mostly about the confederate.

This is a reminder true community museum. A view into the complete history of Selma, Alabama. Great artifacts and photos from the past. Museum Director Beth Spivey is a straight shooting tour guide that adds another reason to visit this incredible museum.

I was stationed at Craig AFB in 1977 and took this timed exposure of the Old Depot Museum. I remember how friendly the local people were. It made a young 24 year-old not quite as homesick.

Selma's history runs deeper than just the Civil Rights movement. The items on display span the life of this great city. The renovations to the building will take you back in time and make the museum seem alive. The back yard has an old caboose and old foundry items. Also out back, a wonderful display of the old Fire Department tools, pumps and trucks. It is well worth the money and time and a must visit when in Selma.
