Culture

Heritage, History, Innovation

Heritage, history, and innovation merge and bring about a distinctive culture. Established almost simultaneously in the beautiful South East, the charming cities of Auburn and Opelika adorn the picturesque landscape of Lee County, blending traditions and making the tranquil yet exciting area one of the most unique in the nation.
 

The cities of Auburn and Opelika outshine every standard tourist spot by offering dual bits of tradition and character that blend into a beautiful duet of cohesive culture.

Each city and destination has its own identity and unique factors which offer visitors a limited experience, but not so when you immerse yourself in the historical and natural beauty that intermingle and abound in Lee County. Let the twin-cities alter your perception of the area as you spend a weekend strolling through the Victorian-inspired neighborhoods of Opelika, get caught up in the hoopla of an Auburn Saturday football game, or enjoy the one-of-a-kind views present at every turn in each of the radiant cities.

The intrigue of the area comes from the blend of culture that thrives among the historical influence which still places a vital role in the area’s daily endeavors, as well as the progressive and evolving college culture that is leaving a constructive imprint on the cultural landscape.

Take a walking tour of the University of Auburn interacting with the present-day culture, and marvel at the historical architecture and structures that hold century-old memories as well as state-of the art technology. Drink in the influences of history in one of our many museums and relive the events that have made Lee County what it is today.
