Friendly People and Great Information
The Athens-Limestone Visitors Center is situated on the corner of Big Spring Memorial Park in a historic building that first served Athens as its Utility Building. The building has been fully restored with architectural features of the early 1900's when the building was first erected to pump water from the natural spring in the park to downtown Athens. Among the collection of information we offer to visitors to our community, you will find trail brochures, event listings and maps not only for Limestone County but also a number of attractions and cities in North Alabama.

Great location, extraordinarily helpful staff
Our first stop during our Athens visit was to the Visitors Center...it is located in a historic structure, a plus in of itself, with a cute little garden immediately adjacent...and very clean mens and women's bathrooms right outside...the person tending the desk was extremely pleasant and helpful, helping us locate the historic sites we hoped to visit, plus a great lunch site recommendation, and even looked up a store at which we could look at vacuums. They have a plethora of brochures to help plan touring not only in Athens, but in all the sites otherwise encompassing the Antebellum Trail, and even Atlanta! A great place to get oriented. Recommended highly.

Many tourist brochures, helpful folk, & small park with ducks
Did you like the local tourism brochures you picked up in U.G. White's store? Well, this visitor's center is the "mother lode" for them, where they came from. If you're more dedicated to tourism, you'll want to come here and pick up additional brochures, and talk with some of the folks. This visitor center is located in what was once the city water works building. The old reservoir area out back has been uncovered, and turned into Athens' big spring park. You can see the Newby gas station museum from there. If you're looking for business networking, the Chamber of Commerce is right across the street from the visitor center.
