"The Loveliest Village On The Plains"
Everyone here is a fan of the university. In fact, many residents are
graduates. Over half of the adult residents hold a 4-year or advanced
college degree and the prevailing wisdom is that Auburn is a great place
to work and live. Since Auburn is a college town, sporting events, music,
art and other cultural activities are always happening. Local businesses
cater to students and residents alike – from specialty shops near campus
to the big retailers closer to Opelika.
Indeed, Auburn University overshadows the "Loveliest Village's" humble beginnings. Download this short tour around the Pebble Hill area, highlighting locations significant to Auburn’s history during the reconstruction era.
