Union Springs overflows with history and
beauty. We claim some of the finest old homes in
Alabama. Take a virtual
tour and find out for yourself. Some of these homes are
often open to the public as part of our annual
Chunnenuggee Fair, held the
first Saturday in May, and again during various Christmas
celebrations.
The Bird Dog
Field Trial Monument stands on Prairie Street, honoring
Bullock County members of the Field Trial Hall of Fame. We also
work to preserve the 1897 Pauly Jail
Museum, the oldest surviving jail in the state, and one of a
very few relics of it's kind which gives us a glimpse of the
darker side of the past.
Bullock County offers many
parks and
fishing lakes for outdoor recreation. Our finest and newest
