Welcome to the Visit Athens AL Press Room...

Athens, the Limestone County Seat, sets just 22 miles west of Huntsville at the crossroads Interstate 65, U.S. Highway 72, and US Highway 31. Athens-Limestone Alabama offers festivals for almost every month, 15 family-friendly free trails, museums, attractions and much more to plan your family vacation.

Nestled in the foothills and amid the rolling Tennessee River plains you'll find a variety of items to weave stories around. From our rich history to the unique personalities of community, Southern delicacies to our deep heritage of music, art, and architecture -- we'll enable you to keep pen to paper.



The Athens-Limestone County Tourism Association provides assistance to working press filing stories about Athens-Limestone Alabama as a travel destination. We can answer questions about travel and tourism, arrange press passes attractions, coordinate press visits and point you in the right direction to get the information you need to develop your story about our community.


We look forward to working with you!
