We are open and located at 14 Broad St.; the parking lot is beside the building.
The Selma Welcome Center, operated by the city of Selma, is our temporary space while the Selma Interpretive Center undergoes renovations. You can still find stamps, rangers, restrooms, and a bookstore at this location.
The permanent center is located on the corner of Broad St. and Water Ave, and the temporary space is three buildings down. Look for the white "Open" sign on the sidewalk just past the construction fence.
