Please read!!! The museum has had break-ins and artifacts stolen recently. The employees of the museum have requested that all geocachers check in with them BEFORE looking forthe cache. Just pop your head in for a quick "hello and this is why I'm here." The employees are Mrs. Jean Martin and Mr. David Hurlbut. They are aware a cache is located near the site, but still want to take future precautions.
Small lock and lock container with a few tradeable items. Lots of brush to get thru but not far off the parking lot. The museum is fun but not necessary to enter to find the cache, but they would love to have you.
The old Depot Museum offers visitors a tour through the colorful past of Selma, one of the South's most historic cities. Visitors find themselves stepping back into an earlier time, when farmers used oxen to plow their fields and spinning wheels to spin their thread. Here one may inspect the records of an early plantation, or the contents of a 19th century doctor's traveling kit. A cameo of Elodie Todd Dawson, Abraham Lincoln's sister-in-law and a rabid confederate, offers a poignant reminder that the Civil War split many families asunder. Confederate bills, many printed right here in Selma, recall "the lost cause" in all its frailty.
