National Voting Museum overview
National Voting Museum
Visitors to the museum will have the opportunity to view a collection of artifacts that tell the story of the voting rights movement, including photographs, documents, and personal items belonging to some of the key figures involved in the struggle for equality. Among the unique things visitors can see is the original door from the jail cell where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was held after being arrested during a voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965.
The museum also features interactive exhibits that allow visitors to experience what it was like to participate in some of the key events of the voting rights movement. For example, visitors can walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where marchers were beaten by Alabama state troopers during the Selma-to-Montgomery march, and hear the sounds of the chaos that unfolded there.
Overall, the National Voting Museum is a fascinating destination that offers a unique look at an important period in American history. Whether you're a student of history or simply interested in learning more about the struggle for civil rights in the United States, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
