Old Live Oak Cemetery, located on Dallas Avenue in the heart of Selma, is another tourist favorite with its beautiful hand carved marble monuments and the ancient Magnolia and Live Oak trees that are draped with Spanish moss. The cemetery provides year-round enjoyment for it's visitors and in the spring you will see many beautiful azaleas and dogwood trees that are in bloom.
