The 50-acre Dothan Area Botanical Gardens is located on Headland Avenue. It offers manicured flower beds, tropical greenhouses, a marshland observation platform, and natural paths.
Landmark Park is a 135-acre park dedicated to preserving Alabama’s Wiregrass Region’s social and ecological history. It houses a 19th-century historical society farm, a schoolhouse, a planetarium, and a pharmacy shop.
Make your way around downtown to explore the city’s diverse Murals of the Wiregrass. On North Foster Street, there’s The Steamboat Era, on the front of the Liddon Furniture house, there’s Salute to the Peanut Industry, and on South Saint Andrews Street, there’s Chief Eufaula: Creek Indian Removal.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the World’s Smallest City Block is in Dothan. It’s a tiny gravel triangle jammed with a stop sign, a street sign, a yield sign, and a monument proclaiming it to be the world’s tiniest city block.
Dothan is truly nuts about its peanuts— no wonder it’s called the Peanut Capital of the World. The city is recognized for its thriving peanut industry, and several works of art are devoted to the humble peanut aesthetic and are sprinkled across the city.
