Everywhere you go in Auburn, Alabama, you are aware of the Auburn Tigers. Over the years, football has served as a unifying force among the residents of this lovely city. When you visit Auburn, it is simple to understand why it is known as “The Loveliest Village on The Plains,” as it is. Going outside and taking in scenic parks, golf courses, and preserves are among the popular items in Auburn.

There is much to do and see in this beautiful city, so let’s start with the top Auburn attractions:

Visit Chewacla State Park first

The Chewacla State Park, which spans 696 acres, offers something for everyone. There are mountain bike routes, hiking, a picnic area with a grill, a playground, a 26-acre lake, diving areas, camping areas, and swimming areas. Six stone cottages in the park can be rented year-round if you want to spend the night there.

Alternatively, you can set up a tent in one of the area’s various locations. The lake is teeming with crappie, bass, and bream if you enjoy fishing. The other option is to go fishing in either of the two creeks. The whole family can enjoy so much of what the beautiful park has to offer.

View the artwork in the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art

One of the top museums in the area is the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art in Alabama. It has a sizable collection of classic and contemporary works of art. The museum was established when Frank Applebee bought 36 paintings at a state auction in 1948. This served as the museum’s foundation and helped it expand until it reached its current size of over 2000 works of art. You will undoubtedly feel satisfied after visiting the museum and get a newfound appetite for the arts.

Attend a basketball game at Auburn Arena

Visit the Auburn Arena to witness the men’s and women’s basketball teams of the Auburn Tigers if you prefer basketball to football. The arena was constructed in 2010 and is situated on the Auburn University campus. With a capacity of just under 10,000, the environment at the games is much more intimate than at a football stadium, but that doesn’t stop the spectators from going bonkers when the men and women take the court. The Lovelace Athletic Museum is housed in the same structure as the courts for the benefit of sports enthusiasts.

Explore Pebble Hill by foot

Pebble Hill, also known as the Scott-Yarbrough House, is included on the National Register of Historic Places. The Caroline Mashall Draughon Center for Arts & Humanities is currently housed in the structure. But if you enjoy architecture, the building will be what draws your attention. Colonel Nathaniel J. Scott constructed the network in 1847, adhering to the Greek revival architectural style. The property was robbed during the Civil War, but many of the jewels were hidden beside a spring, so they were never found.

Visit Toomer’s Corner

This historic medicine store on Toomer’s Corner has been providing the public with freshly squeezed lemonade for more than a century. Sheldon Toomer, a halfback on the first Auburn football team, and his father-in-law built the store. The lemonade is still offered in the stadium, and the football team continues to support this store.

The shop appears pretty conventional from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you can tell that this location is unique. After taking a sip of the lemonade, you will understand why this location had to be included on the list.

Have dinner at the Hound

If you’re seeking some American classics, your quest is finished. This family-owned restaurant and pub feature a terrific assortment of meals, twenty-eight distinct crafts on tap, as well as some fine bourbon to choose from. The environment within the Hound is intended to transport you to more carefree times in the past.

The times when memories were created via hunting, fishing, and storytelling. The pub is a favorite among football fans and can be packed entirely during home games. Frequent offers and happy hours, which change during the week, are offered.
