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!

Dinner In the Orchard - A Taste of Local Fare In Support of Knowledge

Dinner In the Orchard - A Taste of Local Fare In Support of Knowledge
by Diane Lehr

 'If knowledge is never cultivated the best work of the individual will never be produced. For future profits, the money spent for knowledge will be well spent.' 

Raymond L. Isom, February 18, 1949. English A. Auburn University. 


    On October 13, 2012, at 4 p.m. Isom's Orchard will once again be the setting for a late afternoon benefit dinner in their orchards. This year's dinner will honor Raymond Isom and his love of knowledge. One hundred twenty-five tickets at a cost of $100 each, will be sold on September 8, beginning at 9 am, at The Isom's Orchard Stand on Highway 72 in Athens. One hundred of those tickets will be sold to directly assist The Library Foundation in it's goal to build in Athens. An additional twenty-five tickets will be sold to benefit breast cancer research via the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
