It means a lot to see the site of history that I remember as a child. There is a small park at one end of the bridge with murals and memorials to those who suffered for liberty.

Enjoyed walking the bridge after spending time at the Interpretive Center. Have gone over the bridge during the Annual Bridge Crossing in the Spring, but it is also very meaningful to walk it at other times.
Sadly, the town hasn't preserved this landmark to the extent it deserves. This very narrow bridge spans over a terribly polluted river and an abandoned, overgrown park. There is a lot of graffiti on the bridge and underneath it, by the park. The cars are flying past so quickly that it's a dangerous walk. There's not a separate, designated pedestrian...

A bridge of which made history with the civil rights movement. Sadly there is more to history than what is seen from the bridge. Still worth a visit if you're in the area.
It's a bridge---with a very SCARY neighborhood on one side and a somewhat run-down town center on the other. No good restaurants within miles. (unless you are a member of Selma CC)
The Edmund Pettus Bridge is a large part of Alabama's history. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King walked across this bridge for equal rights for black people on his way to Montgomery . My husband and I took my son to see apart of this history the beginning of November 2012.
If you were alive in the 60's or ever saw a video, you need to walk the bridge. This is part of our history. No flash and glamour. It's a bridge used today and on which human blood was shed.
i Understand the history of the bridge which is fasinating but there is nothing else to see just the bridge some memorials and the Alabama River. the town is a OLD Ghostly like town and pretty nasty. No since in waisting your time going there just read about it and that will be enough
Great to visit during the Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee. Lots of vendors and great events surrounding the Jubilee.
