In Auburn, much of the town’s vibrancy is tied to the presence of Auburn University. One iconic landmark you can’t miss is Samford Hall, the striking administration building that dates back to the 1880s and was renovated in 1971. For art enthusiasts, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art is a must-visit. Since opening in 2003, it has become a hub for the local art community. For those who appreciate nature, take a leisurely stroll through The Donald E. Davis Arboretum on Auburn’s campus. This 14-acre garden showcases native Alabama plants, from towering oaks to vibrant azaleas and even carnivorous pitcher plants. Another example of Auburn University giving back to its hometown is the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center, an outreach program of the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. In addition to offering environmental education programs for kids and partnering with area schools to serve as an outdoor classroom, there are numerous ways to enjoy the great outdoors as it offers six miles of walking trails, a pond, butterfly garden, giant playground and a waterfall.
