About Limestone County Fair

Visitor Tips
Athens is the Limestone County seat — Athens State University (the oldest institution of higher learning in Alabama, founded 1822), the Tennessee Valley Railroad (heritage railroad), and the Elk River country of north Limestone County define this thriving Tennessee Valley agricultural community.
