About Union Springs

     Union Springs is the county seat of Bullock County.  Located in southeast Alabama, Union Springs is a small historic town less than an hour's drive from several destination cities, including Montgomery, Auburn, Troy, and Eufaula.   We are known worldwide as the Field Trial Capitol of the World, and each February people come from near and far to participate in the world's largest amateur Bird Dog Field Trials.

The central Alabama climate is excellent for year 'round outdoor recreation.  Bullock County has some of the best hunting and fishing in the South.  Deer, fox, quail, dove, and turkey are harvested in our very active hunting community, and fishing nearby lakes has produced record catches of bass, bream and catfish!

Small Town Pleasures

     Visitors also come to Union Springs for our annual festivals, including the Chunnenuggee Fair (April) and Veterans Day (November), and to tour the historic town.  For more planned activities, check our Upcoming Events.  A quick drive around our picturesque downtown and residential streets will show you what makes this town so unique and genuinely Southern. From the oldest jail in the state to antebellum homes to cemeteries dating back nearly 200 years, Union Springs is a showplace of Southern history, architecture, and charm.
